Matcha is a finely ground green tea that contains caffeine.
Tasting Notes: soft, grassy, vegetal
Origin: Kyoto, Japan

Made from a premium grade Japanese green tea powder, this Matcha is soft and smooth with deep grassy and vegetal notes. This Matcha is assertive enough for lattes but smooth enough to drink on its own. Makes a great tasting beverage with or without milk.

We source our matcha from Marukyu Koyamaen, a highly regarded tea grower, procurer, and tea blender whose private tea estate, located in the heart of Uji, Kyoto, has a rich history dating back to 1704. Koyamaen has strict quality control systems in place that target a wide variety of issues that can affect the quality, taste, and characteristics of their tea: Teas are kept fresh using a unique drying system that reduces moisture in the leaf to an incredibly low level which is verified by an infrared optical moisture meter. Since a vibrant color is essential to the matcha experience, a colorimeter is utilized to ensure that the matcha has a naturally vibrant hue. Finally, the particle size of the matcha is strictly controlled which ensures each particle is fine enough to deliver an easy-to-blend, smooth-tasting beverage. (3 oz. per package)

Brewing recommendations: Sift 2-3 grams of powder into a bowl and whisk with 2-4 ounces of 175°F water until frothy. Serve or combine with milk (steamed or cold).
