A slice of yuzu peel adds a nice refreshing aroma to a shot of matcha, just like an espresso with lemon peel. You can find yuzu at your local Asian market at this time of year, or a Meyer lemon can be a nice substitute. Add a bit of sweetness to bring out the umami flavor from matcha!
We happen to have a yuzu tree in our yard and now is the harvest time! Yuzu tree has big, sharp thorns, so we have to be very careful when picking the fruits.
Yuzu in Jugetsudo’s Yuzu Sencha is from Kochi prefecture, the No.1 yuzu producer in Japan!
Enjoy the zesty green tea to celebrate the yuzu season!

Easy Matcha Milk Pudding
Matcha Milk Pudding is easy to make, and tastes amazing! Sifting matcha is an important step that you don't want to skip, otherwise you have clumps in the milk. Also, straining the matcha milk is important to make the pudding smooth. The red bean paste is optional. We use whole milk, because we like the rich, creamy milk, but you can use milk with less fat or almond milk, soy milk...
Ingredients
- For 3-4 servings
- 1 packet (7g) gelatin
- 2 cups whole milk
- 4-5 Tablespoons sugar
- 1½ Tablespoons matcha powder
Instructions
- In a small cup, put 1 TBSP water and sprinkle the gelatin to soften
- Heat the milk in a small pan (do not boil)
- In a small container, put the sugar. Sift the matcha powder using a tea strainer onto the sugar and gently mix with a spoon
- Add the sugar, matcha and gelatin to the milk and stir well
- Strain the matcha milk to a bowl and let cool
- When the matcha milk is room temperature, stir again and pour it into glass cups
- Place the cups in a refrigerator for about 2-3 hours until it has set.
- Serve with whipped cream on top
If you have expired sencha in your pantry and are wondering what to do…just roast it! Put the old sencha in a clean pan (no oil!) and roast it over moderately high heat. Constantly move the tea with a wooden spoon and shake the pan in order not to burn the tea. When the smaller pieces of the tea turn dark brown, remove from heat. The freshly roasted hojicha has a bright aroma with a hint of sencha flavor, and leaves a nice smell in the kitchen!

Sencha, Japanese classic green tea, is a simple yet delicate tea. If infused with boiling hot water, the tea leaves will burn and turn the tea slightly bitter.
To avoid this, simply pour the hot water into a cup, then infuse with the tea so that the temperature of the water cools a bit to ensure that the tea will not be damaged.
Enjoy a nice cup of sencha!
To cold brew momo sencha, pour 1 cup (250cc) cold water to 2 gram momo sencha and wait 20 minutes.
The smooth, refreshing taste of the sencha compliments the sweet undertone of peaches along with a tiny hint of mint.
Take some time to sit down with a cup of Jugetsudo momo senchato celebrate summer!

Cold brew tea is easy to make and tastes amazing! Hot water tends to bring out the tannic, bitter flavor in tea, but with cold water, the tea will be mellow; smooth and with lots of delicate umami!
To make cold brew tea, put one teaspoon of loose leaf tea (or one teabag) in one cup of cold water. Steep for half an hour.
Try it with Jugetsudo flavored sencha–yuzu, sakura (cherry blossom) and momo (peach). The flavors will freshly stand out. You will be pleasantly surprised!
