Niko Neko Yuri is an artisanal Japanese powdered green tea originating from Mie Prefecture, Japan. It is made from the Yabukita cultivar, Japan’s most widely grown tea variety, and is presented by the brand as a classic, approachable introduction to high-quality matcha.
The product contains only finely ground premium green tea leaves, with no added sugar or other ingredients. It is packaged in a resealable aluminum pouch that protects the matcha from moisture, light, air, and external odors.
Yuri offers medium-intensity vegetal umami, deep grassy notes, and a mild hint of vanilla, accompanied by a subtle dried-fruit aroma. The finish brings gentle bitterness and the characteristic astringency of green tea. Its balanced flavor and lasting green color make it particularly suitable for hot or iced matcha lattes, smoothies, frappés, cocktails, cakes, pastries, and other desserts.
