Japan Ceremonial Grade Matcha 30 gram (Organic NL-BIO-01)

Top quality Ceremonial grade Matcha from Japanese Miyako Tea in Shizuoka a few hours drive south of Tokyo.

The Matcha is produced from the top leaves of the bush from the first flush harvest (first harvest of the year).

The bushes have been covered for the last 3 weeks before harvest to ensure the high quality tea with good sweetness, umami and very little bitterness

The processed Tencha leaves are stone milled according to the old Japanese traditions which ensure a very fine powder with a particle size of 5-10 micron.  This ensure a smooth texture that dissolves well in liquid and gives a nice froth when whisked.

For this Matcha the Kanayamidori & Yabukita cultivars are used, having each distinct characteristics:

• Kanayamidori
  Good umami with slight roast and milky flavor, giving it a balanced profile
  
  
• Yabukita
  The Yabukita is the most common cultivar in Japan.  It has a good balance of fresh greens, umami and with a slight bitterness
  

A very good rich flavor with slight sweetness and little bitterness and a good long aftertaste.   This is our best Matcha.
