Marutcha まる茶 Thé Japonais Menu

At Marutcha まる茶 Thé Japonais, the menu reads like a careful journey through Japanese tea culture, with a strong focus on purity, variety, and preparation styles. The THÉS VERTS SENCHA CHAUDS (3DL, 2-3 infusions, take-away -0.30fr) stand out for their refined selection, including GRAND CRU OKUHIKARI, ZAÏRAÏ CENTENAIRE, FUKAMUSHIBENIFŪKI, and KAMAIRICHA, offering a layered tasting experience from grassy to more roasted notes. The more umami-rich side appears in the THÉS OMBRAGÉS CHAUDS (uniquement sur place) with premium choices like KABUSE, GYOKURO, and HON-GYOKURO, clearly aimed at tea enthusiasts seeking depth and intensity. Other green teas such as GENMAICHA, SAKURA SENCHA, KUKICHA YUZU, and GYOKURO HÔJICHA extend the range with toasted, floral, and citrus accents, while the caffeine-free section-SOBACHA, KUROMOJICHA, and SAN'NEN BANCHA-adds a calm, grounding alternative. The modern matcha selection brings a more contemporary twist, with AU LAIT ALLONGÉ, AU LAIT SANS EAU, CHOCOLAT CHAUD AU MATCHA, and traditional preparations like MATCHA UJI (Kyôto), GOKO, and OKUMIDORI served both hot and cold. To finish, the small dessert offering keeps things simple but authentic, featuring MOCHIS TRADITIONNELS (haricots rouges, sésame noir & haricots, matcha mousse, yuzu mousse, parfum du moment) and DORAYAKI AVEC HARICOTS ROUGES, rounding out a menu that feels minimalist yet highly curated, where each item is designed to highlight the subtleties of Japanese tea craftsmanship.
