Ingredients
This authentic blend contains organic Japanese matcha green tea powder sourced from Fukuoka, Yame, Japan.
Description
Description: Embark on a journey into the heart of Japanese tea tradition with our Ceremonial Matcha, sourced directly from the first harvest of tea leaves in Yame, Fukuoka, Japan. Crafted to perfection, our matcha powder is stone-ground from the highest quality organic Japanese matcha green tea leaves, resulting in a vibrant, smooth, and naturally sweet profile that’s deeply valued in traditional tea ceremonies. Ingredients: This authentic blend contains organic Japanese matcha green tea powder sourced from Fukuoka, Yame, Japan. Health Benefits: Our Ceremonial Matcha is shade-grown for three weeks before harvest, enhancing chlorophyll and amino acids for a distinctive nutrient profile. The shade-growing process results in a vibrant, fluorescent green hue and deep umami flavor, providing a powerful dose of antioxidants and essential nutrients. This method also supports the production of L-theanine, known for promoting relaxation and mental clarity, making matcha an ideal option for those seeking a balance of energy and calm. The meticulous processing of drying and stone-grinding maintains the nutritional integrity of each leaf, offering a boost in antioxidants, chlorophyll, and essential vitamins. Tasting Notes: Our Japanese ceremonial matcha delivers a smooth, mellow experience, filled with rich umami and little to no bitterness. This complexity makes it a perfect choice for both traditional tea ceremonies and as a refined daily beverage. Enjoy it pure or whisked into a matcha latte, and savor its creamy, silky texture and balanced flavors. This nuanced blend stands apart from culinary matcha with its low bitterness, making it ideal for matcha purists. Journey and Sourcing: Sourced from the mountainous Yame region in Fukuoka, our matcha benefits from a unique terroir enriched by the Hoshino River and a high-altitude, misty climate. These conditions allow for slow-growing tea trees that yield leaves with heightened umami complexity and sweetness. This first-harvest matcha undergoes careful handpicking and precise stone-grinding by Japanese tea artisans, preserving the integrity and traditional craftsmanship of matcha production. Preparation Instructions: Start by sifting 0.5-1 tsp (1-2g) of matcha powder into a spouted bowl or cup. Add 60mL of warm water (75°C) and whisk in a ‘W’ motion until a frothy foam appears, which usually takes around 20-30 seconds. Adjust to your taste preference by topping with 120-150mL of hot water (100°C) and whisking again for a smooth, luxurious finish. Perfect for matcha enthusiasts and Japanese tea lovers alike, our Ceremonial Matcha provides an elevated experience, bringing together the elegance of Japanese tea culture and the wellness benefits of premium matcha.
