This extraordinary matcha delivers exquisite character with sweet aroma, multilayered taste, tremendous umami, and long lingering aftertaste. Outstandingly refreshing with effortlessly smooth flavor, Eiju reveals different profiles depending on preparation: vegetal spinach-like notes as usucha, roasted peanut and almond aromas as koicha, both giving way to pure sweet creamy flavor with mild vanilla finish. Great tea masters drink Eiju for special tea parties in Japan, yet it's forgiving for serious enthusiasts—less temperature-sensitive than other Marukyu grades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Eiju Ceremonial Matcha:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop-Grade Special Occasion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Extraordinary matcha drunk by tea masters at special parties—positioned among Marukyu's upper ceremonial tiers for important guests and gifting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNamed for Longevity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ancient name symbolizing long life and wellbeing from Ten Virtues of Tea—carries auspicious meaning perfect for celebrations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMultilayered Umami Richness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweet scent, complex aroma while whisking, tons of umami, long aftertaste—absolutely no bitterness, thick creamy consistency even as usucha.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual Character:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vegetal spinach as usucha, roasted nuts as koicha—both transition to pure sweet creamy vanilla finish, more umami than Unkaku below it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForgiving Preparation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Less temperature-sensitive than other Marukyu matchas—fantastic for serious enthusiasts without extensive expertise, reliable across preparation methods.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest Prepared Thick:\u003c\/strong\u003e Recommended slightly thicker to appreciate exquisite flavor—excels as koicha where concentration reveals pure lingering sweet creamy character.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMarukyu Award-Winning Heritage:\u003c\/strong\u003e From Marukyu Koyamaen since 1704—over 320 years producing matcha for Japanese Royal Family, National Tea Competition winner.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Special tea parties, gifting, koicha and usucha, celebrating longevity, important guests, and serious enthusiasts seeking top-grade ceremonial quality with extraordinary umami.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marukyu Koyamaen","offers":[{"title":"20g Can","offer_id":52116518863130,"sku":"MK-EIJ-20-CAN","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"40g Can","offer_id":52116518928666,"sku":"MK-EIJ-40-CAN","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"40g Can (Best Before 5\/1\/26)","offer_id":52116518895898,"sku":"MK-EIJ-40-CAN-BB","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0942\/4388\/1242\/files\/MK_Eiju_40_Can.jpg?v=1776873854","url":"https:\/\/kanso-tea.com\/products\/eiju-by-marukyu-koyamaen","provider":"Kanso Tea","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
