Tea Powder Organic Japanese Matcha Green 30g

Matcha is a finely milled vibrant Green Tea powder made from the highest quality Japanese Tea Leaves.

Organic Japanese Matcha Green comes from Uji, a region high in the hills around Kyoto, renowned for producing the best Japanese Teas.

Only accessibly by foot, this remote area is unpolluted and rich in friendly bugs such as spiders, ladybirds, praying mantis and dragonflies to keep the pests under control.

Shade grown for the final few months to allow the leaves to fill with chlorophyll, the finest young Tea buds are picked, dried and ground in a granite mortar.

It has been drunk as part of the tea ceremony for 900 years as well as by Buddhist monks during long days of meditation.

Growing conditions, time of harvest and processing techniques have a direct effect on the grade and final flavour of the Matcha:

Ceremonial grade Matcha uses the finest, smallest shade grown Leaves from the very tip of the Tea bush giving it a very vibrant green colour and a slightly sweet, smooth flavour.

Clearspring’s delicious selection of Organic Japanese Green Teas offer authenticity and only the highest quality of Tea Leaves which are grown by the 3rd generation of expert tea producers in Kyoto, Japan.

From vibrant and captivating Matcha and bittersweet Sencha to the mild and earthy notes of Kukicha.

There is a flavour to suit every taste and time of day as the caffeine content varies considerably, with Matcha having the highest and Kukicha the lowest.

How to make a cup of Matcha tea

Traditionally Matcha is drunk whisked in hot water as a smooth green tea. Take ¼ teaspoon (1g) of Matcha powder and add hot water from a kettle which has not quite boiled to maximise the health benefits. Thoroughly whisk using a traditional wooden whisk or a hand held electric milk frother to avoid lumps of powder in the bottom of your cup.

Traditional Tea Ceremony

The traditional Japanese tea ceremony dates back 900 years to feudal times. It can take up to 3 hours and is steeped in history, is full of theatre and is incredibly calming. If you would like to make Matcha emulating the essence and spirit of the traditional tea ceremony you can do so in less than 3 minutes but you will need a bowl, a bamboo tea scoop and a bamboo matcha whisk.
