Ceremonial Matcha tea 1st grade

Ceremonial Matcha tea

1st class

Matcha is a fine powder made of green tea leaves.

It has a bright, emerald green color and a rich, herbal taste.

The tea plants used for the production of Matcha are shaded in the last weeks before the harvest, which leads to a dark green tea leaf that contains a higher content of chlorophyll, caffeine and L-theanine.

After the tea leaves have been harvested, they are steamed to stop the oxidation process. They are then ground into a fine powder and packed for sale.

This tea is particularly high quality and corresponds to the quality that is traditionally used in Japanese tea ceremonies.

This type of Matcha is made from the youngest tea leaves, which are picked by hand and ground into a fine powder. 

This ceremonial matcha has a tender and subtle taste profile with a slightly sweet aftertaste.

It is usually drunk pure, whipped with hot water, to get a foamy, light green tea.

It tends to be a little more subtle and nuanced than Matcha in culinary quality and should be consumed pure instead of being added to lattes and other confectionery.
