Our Organic Ceremonial Matcha is of Japanese origin, specifically from Kagoshima Prefecture, one of the best green tea producers.
To make this matcha, plants from the Okumidori cultivar were used. The beautiful bright green powder gives an indication of its superior quality; the noble sweet and sour notes provide a fine umami character, offering a surprisingly subtle sweetness.
Matcha is a green tea that undergoes several processes during its cultivation. The bushes are kept in shade before harvesting, allowing their chlorophyll and antioxidant levels to increase.
This ceremonial matcha is shade-grown for three weeks and harvested in spring; this classifies it as a first flush. First-harvest green teas are distinguished by subtle, sweet, floral flavors and high quality.
Preparation:
1 teaspoon of matcha in 6 ounces of hot water (75 to 80 degrees C)
Mix until completely dissolved and forms a foam on top of the drink.
Enjoy!
