Matcha

Thanks to an excellent cooperation with our supplier, we were able to secure this popular tea from organic cultivation. The wonderful combination of classic Sencha leaf tea, mild Matcha and peeled, roasted rice is found in this lime-coloured cup which spreads a pleasant scent of roasted notes. Delightfully smooth in taste, slightly sweet with some hints of caramel, this tea shows its true soul and is highly addictive for those who like a spiced sweetness.

We are delighted to be able to offer the ever-growing Matcha fan base yet another top quality from organic cultivation. The first Matcha is said to have been produced in Uji towards the end of the 16th century. Altitudes of 250 m, calcium-rich soil as well as prevailing ground fogs offer perfect preconditions for excellent and complex green teas. During its preparation, the shining, emerald green Matcha unfolds intensive, matt-green shades, which are crowned by its grass green, creamy foam. The scent is sweetish, fruity and its taste aromatic and full-bodied.

Product details see item no. 21394

The top tea region Kawane, located in Japan’s most important cultivation area Shizuoka, is where the very finest Tencha is produced in Springtime, based on the cultivars Yabukita and Okumidori. After having shaded the teas for three weeks, the leaves are harvested, briefly steamed, sorted and then dried. As opposed to, for example, Sencha or Gyokuro, the Tencha is not rolled so that as many of its contents as possible are preserved while being ground. You will easily find the result in the cup which unfolds a wonderfully full-bodied flavour, with slightly herbal notes but without any bitterness; the powder is brightly green.

The Tencha of our Ceremonial Matcha comes from the sun-kissed South of Japan, the region Kagoshima. It is the second most important cultivation area of Japan and at the forefront of organic tea cultivation. Due to the prevailing climatic conditions, you will find a much larger diversity concerning the cultivars used. The local tea masters created a perfectly balanced blend for our Matcha by using different cultivars, such as Saemidori and Asanoka, resulting in a very unique taste composition. The richly green powder already hints at its excellent quality which will surprise you with elegant notes of dark chocolate, a very fine umami character and a subtle sweetness!
