About
Harvested exclusively during the first flush, only the youngest top leaves are hand-selected for their high nutritional value, then stone-ground into a fine powder in the Uji region, Kyoto – Japan.
21 days prior to harvest, the tea plants are intentionally shaded. This triggers the leaves to compensate for the lack of sunlight by boosting their chlorophyll and amino acid levels.
Matcha Latte Recipe
- Add 2 grams of matcha tea to a small amount (50ml) of water (~75°C) in a bowl or cup. Matcha can be sieved for a finer and more homogeneous texture.
- Whisk vigorously with an electric whisk or bamboo whisk until a distinctive foam layer forms on the surface.
- Add 180 – 250ml of hot milk. Sweetener, syrup or ice can be added for Iced Matcha Latte.
* To avoid affecting the taste and properties of the tea, it is not recommended to heat the water to 100°
Usucha Recipe
- Sifting: Place 1.5g – 2g of matcha (approx. 1/2 teaspoon) into the bowl, sifting it through a fine sieve to avoid lumps.
- Water: Add 60ml – 70ml of warm water at 75°C – 80°C (not boiling, to prevent the tea from becoming bitter).
- Whisking: Whisk vigorously with a bamboo whisk (Chasen), using a rapid "W" or "M" motion for 15-20 seconds, until a fine, creamy foam forms on the surface.
* To avoid affecting the taste and properties of the tea, it is not recommended to heat the water to 100°C.
