Meet the Maker: Kurasu
Shop Kurasu's Ceremonial Japanese Matcha & Roasted Hojicha Teas.
Known primarily for their speciality coffee, Kurasu also celebrates the rich traditions of Japanese tea-making. Kurasu comes from the Japanese word “to live” or “lifestyle.” They advocate for Japanese coffee & tea culture, community, and homebrew. Working together, Kurasu aims to realise a sustainable future in coffee and tea.
Here at Mujo Store we carry Kurasu's range of Japanese Matcha powders and signature Hojicha Roasted Green Tea powder. The original Kurasu Blend Matcha combines Okumidori, Samidori, and Yabukita with other teas like Sae Akari, Sayama Kaori, Hoshun, and Sae Midori. By blending several amazing tea varieties, each element brings sweetness, umami and flavour into the blend, resulting in the final cup with a lot more complexity in aroma and richness in taste.
The SUI blend is a blend of scissor cut first-pick Japanese matcha powder designed to be a perfect pick for tea ceremony's use for its well balanced Umami and bitterness. The hint of mild bitterness in rich umami gives you the full experience of matcha green tea.
Hojicha powder itself is difficult to produce, which is why it is hard to find. For Kurasu's Hojicha, they select only the finest grade leaves and carefully roasted to preserve the sweetness, aroma and umami.
Perfect for making delicious Hojicha latte’s. A great way to add a Japanese touch to any baked goods, and also an excellent ingredient to add richness and fragrance to your cooking.
