CHOAN presents a soft, creamy flavor with deep umami that unfolds beautifully with each sip. Its elegant, fresh aroma complements a smooth, full-bodied texture, revealing refined notes reminiscent of yams, roasted nuts, and subtle milkiness. When prepared as a thick tea (koicha), CHOAN expresses its richness and nutty depth; as a thin tea (usucha), it offers a gentler, milky sweetness with understated grassy tones.
