Introducing Our Premium Ceremonial Grade Matcha – a vibrant, bright green, stone-ground tea that represents one of the highest grades of matcha available. This extra-fine powder is celebrated for its smooth, velvety texture, fresh aroma, and delicate sweetness. Best enjoyed in its purest form, whisked in the traditional tea ceremony style, this matcha is the ultimate choice to invigorate your mind, body, and spirit. For a modern twist, it can also be enjoyed with a touch of sweetness or as a creamy matcha latte with steamed milk.
What is Matcha?
Matcha is a finely ground powder made from de-veined green tea leaves, renowned for its role in the historic Japanese tea ceremony. This vivid green powder is prized for its concentrated flavor, mellow umami sweetness, and exceptional health benefits. Packed with antioxidants, fiber, and chlorophyll, one cup of matcha delivers the nutritional equivalent of ten cups of regular green tea.
How to Store Your Matcha
To preserve its freshness and vibrant flavor, always store matcha in a cool, dark place, away from heat, humidity, direct sunlight, and strong odors. Once opened, keep it in its airtight tin and store it in the refrigerator to maintain its quality.
How to Prepare the Perfect Cup of Matcha
-
Heat Water: Boil water and let it cool to about 175°F (80°C). Avoid using boiling water, as it can make the matcha taste bitter.
-
Measure Matcha: Add 1-2 teaspoons (2-4 grams) of matcha powder to a bowl.
-
Add Water: Pour 2-4 ounces (60-120 ml) of hot water into the bowl.
-
Whisk: Using a bamboo whisk (chasen), whisk the matcha and water together. Start slowly to mix, then whisk rapidly in a "W" or "M" motion to create a frothy layer with tiny bubbles. This should take about 15-30 seconds.
-
Enjoy: Once frothy, drink immediately for the best flavor and experience.
