Suisen (翠泉 - "Emerald Spring") by Marukyu Koyamaen is a top-tier premium culinary grade matcha specifically engineered for high-end patisseries and dedicated home bakers who refuse to compromise on color or flavor. While many culinary matchas turn dull or bitter when heated, Suisen is celebrated for its vibrant emerald hue and a robust, refreshing profile that holds its own against sugar, dairy, and high-temperature baking. It is the "professional’s secret" for achieving that iconic, deep green color and authentic grassy aroma in everything from silky matcha lattes to decadent sponges and ice creams.

Founded in 1704 during the Genroku era, Marukyu Koyamaen is a titan of the Japanese tea world, boasting over 300 years of heritage in Uji, Kyoto. With a track record of winning the prestigious Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Award more than 20 times, they are the preferred supplier for Japan's most elite tea schools and luxury hotels. Their "Quality First" philosophy extends to their culinary line, ensuring that even their ingredient-grade teas like Suisen are stone-ground with the same precision and care as their highest ceremonial blends.

About this matcha:

• Professional Culinary Standard: Specifically blended to retain its intense green color and "punchy" tea flavor even after being exposed to heat in the oven.

• Robust & Refreshing: Features a deliberate, pleasant astringency that cuts through the richness of cream, white chocolate, and milk.
• Pure Uji Heritage: 100% Japanese green tea, shade-grown and stone-milled in the premier tea-growing region of Uji, Kyoto.
• Cost-Effective Quality: The ideal bridge between everyday drinking matcha and industrial cooking powder—premium enough for a high-quality latte, yet affordable for large-scale baking.
