Soft sweetness ✨

Unkaku has that warm tea-shop aroma I love. It's sweet but not in a sugary way, more in a "this is just well-made tea" way. I tend to drink ceremonial Marukyu as usucha first to taste them clearly and Unkaku passed that test for sure! Layered umami, very smooth. Will absolutely repurchase 🥰

Layered, soft, my Marukyu pick after Tenju

I've been working through Marukyu's higher tier and Unkaku is what I land on for daily. The aroma alone is sweet and warm, like a tea shop. Umami stacks in waves rather than hitting you all at once. As koicha it's smooth without being heavy. As usucha I find it gets a little less interesting, so I'd save it for koicha occasions.
