Hatsu is the lightest character blend in Ippodo's regular matcha lineup. Its taste is highlighted by astringency and a short aftertaste, offering a refreshingly sharp personality when prepared straight as usucha. With a soft green color, it is also a smart choice for those who enjoy using matcha in baking or making lattes.
