Our organic matcha is made from Tencha leaf, the shaded first leaves of the spring harvest. Shading produces a vibrant green hue, umami sweetness, creamy taste, and enlivening energy. The powdered tea leaves offer high levels of chlorophyll, L theanine and amino acids responsible for matcha's high level of flavor and energy.

Lot Notes. Our culinary grade organic Matcha is produced by farms in Shizuoka, Japan. Lot is rich green powder, steeps to a smooth texture. It is recommended as a drink on its own or certainly can be blended. 

Tea Facts. The tender leaves come from a cultivar blend of Sae Midori, Asanoka, and Oku Midori contributed by 3 farms. Tea is then collected, blended and processed to grade in a central cooperative factory. Leaves are stone ground to powder.

Taste Profile. Made and tasted both hot and cold, we find our lot low in tannin, high in caffeine and amino acids, with a pleasing umami sweetness. Taste is creamy and enlivening. 

Brewing Suggestions. Use freshly boiled spring water (or filtered). For thin tea ("usucha"), use two grams, in 3.0-3.5 oz water at 170F, whisk to froth. For thick tea ("koicha"), 4 grams in 1.7-2.0 oz. water at 170F., mix to paste. For iced latte, use 2.5 grams per 12 ounces of water at 170F, then whisk to expresso consistency, pour over ice with milk.
