Kingetsu (錦月) is Maruyasu's fall-exclusive matcha, named for the radiant autumn moon, as golden and richly colored as brocade. Light-bodied, silky, and creamy, it balances sweet, nutty, and verdant notes with an unusual herbal twist: hints of mint and lemongrass woven through the earthy flavors. Available early October through December only, while supplies last.
Why Kingetsu?
- Sweet, nutty, verdant: A well-balanced cup where gentle sweetness and nutty depth sit alongside fresh green notes.
- A minty, lemongrass-like twist: Subtle herbal hints blend into the earthy flavors, a quirk you won't find in most seasonal blends.
- Light, silky, easy to love: Light-bodied, smooth, and creamy, approachable for newcomers and rewarding for seasoned drinkers alike.
- From Shiga, for autumn: Blended by Maruyasu in Koka, Shiga for the tsubokiri season, when jars of spring-picked tea are first opened. In stock early October through December only.
- Best for: Anyone who wants a gentle autumn matcha with something unexpected in the cup, and collectors of seasonal releases beyond Uji.
