The Hidden Gem of Mt. Suzuka
A Taste Born in the Morning Light of Rotterdam
It started on a beautiful, sunlit morning. Sitting in the warm, wood-accented space of Round&Round in Rotterdam, with sunlight filtering gently through the blinds, we tasted a matcha that truly amazed us. Kohiraifu is dedicated to elevating the aesthetics of Asian specialty brewing, while Round & Round shares an uncompromising passion for exquisite flavors. This mutual pursuit of quality sparked our collaboration—we wanted to bring this pure, soul-soothing experience straight to your daily routine.
Why Mie? The Hidden Gem
When it comes to Japanese matcha, Uji is often the first name that comes to mind. But we are bringing you a rare, single-origin treasure from Mie Prefecture. Here is why it stands out:
- The Micro-Lot Appeal: While Uji is highly commercialized, top-tier Mie matcha remains a rare find in the overseas market. It is perfect for those who appreciate unique terroirs and love discovering distinct, single-origin gems.
- High Umami, Low Astringency: Mie is renowned for its masterful shading techniques (Kabusecha). This extended shading process creates an incredibly rich Umami, a full-bodied velvety texture, and remarkably low bitterness.
- Terroir of Mt. Suzuka: Grown in high altitudes with pure mountain water and distinct day-to-night temperature shifts. This cool climate slows the tea leaves' growth, naturally concentrating amino acids for a beautifully clean cup and an elegant aroma
The Pure Sip
Whether it is beautifully whisked for a traditional, mindful bowl of pure tea, or blended with warm milk for a luxurious Matcha Latte, its brilliant character and firm tea notes shine through perfectly without any bitterness.
