Aroma: The aromas are faint and only discernible from the broth. They offer hints of honeydew melon sweetness over a base note of cooked spinach. Since it comes from air-dried teas, there are no notes of toastiness. Flavors: Traditionally enjoyed hot (although we offer it iced at our stores), Jobetsugi is a mouth filling experience. The spinach and artichoke flavors are most obvious. Since this is a thin matcha, the flavors are muted,

Description

This is an excellent matcha from the beautiful Watzuka Valley, south of Uji, Japan, and other nearby prefectures. The first crop (harvested in May) is used to make this matcha. This is the time when the amino acids that create the mouth-filling umami are at their best. The tea plants are shaded and air-dried into Tencha. Later, they are ground by the tiny stone mills. To make a small tin takes about two hours. Hot, iced, or blended with some sort of milk, this is a matcha to enjoy!

 Details: Matcha powdered green tea has been the pride of Uji, Japan for several centuries. Our thin grade Jobetsugi pairs well with chocolates.
 Dry Leaves: This tea is made from a raw tea called Tencha that is air-dried, and then dried flakes are ground between two stones, just like centuries ago. The result is a fine powder that is almost neon green.
 Liquor: The liquor is made by dissolving the tea powder into water. There is no brewing like with other teas. You drink the leaf! The liquor is thick and frothy from the mixing. It is an opaque, brilliant green color.
 Aroma: Jobetsugi has subtle aromas of honeydew melon and spinach.
 Flavors: Nice levels of amino acids from this blend make for a mighty fine matcha. It is reminiscent of melons and vegetables like spinach and lettuce.
 Caffeine Level: Caffeinated
 Body: This is a blend of high-quality matcha leaves, so it is lighter in body than the Senjunomukashi or Unjontomo. Thus, it is a "thin" matcha. This blend of matcha from several traditional sources qualifies as a ceremonial matcha.
 Brewing Time: N/A
 Brewing Temp: 175º
