Senjunomukashi Ceremonial Matcha (Thick Grade)

Harney & Sons Fine Teas- 30 Gram tin of Senjunomukashi Matcha powder with vibrant green matcha powder piled in front- Tin is light green with darker green and gold accents

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. It is a blend from Joyo, just south of Uji, Japan, and surrounding areas. It is considered a thick matcha, meaning it has sufficient umami that provides sweetness and mouth-filling flavors, allowing one to add more to create a texture similar to thick mud. That is appreciated in traditional Japanese tea ceremonies.

Details: Matcha powdered green tea has been the pride of Uji for several centuries. The Japanese tea ceremony traditionally uses Senjunomukashi (thick grade).

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: This ceremonial matcha has notes of green spinach and honeydew melon.

Flavors: High levels of umami give a lovely sweetness to Senjunomukashi. The vegetal flavors of spinach and Swiss chard abound.

Caffeine Level: Caffeinated

Body: This is a mouth-filling, even a head-filling brew. It is a "thick" matcha. More matcha powder can be added so that your brew becomes like thick mud. This is what is consumed in Japanese tea ceremonies.
