Description

There was a time when the only tea consumed consisted of powdered tea leaves mixed with hot water. It was then that the Japanese developed their deep affection for tea. Traditionally, Japanese aristocrats used matcha for their tea ceremony. It was only in the 1800s that Japanese commoners began drinking brewed teas such as Sencha and Bancha. This ancient tea is made from a shade-grown tea, the best coming from outside of Kyoto near the suburb of Uji. After harvest, the tea (called Tencha) is air-dried. The dry flakes are taken to a "clean" room filled with rotating millstones, and everything is covered with green dust. After a full hour of grinding, each stone yields 2 oz of dried Matcha.

Theanine and caffeine content per 100 g.:

  • 1200 mg. theanine

 Details: Matcha powdered green tea has been the pride of Uji 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: 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 mouthfilling experience. The spinach and artichoke flavors are most obvious. Since this is a thin matcha, the flavors are muted.
 Caffeine Level: Caffeinated
 Body: Light-bodied. Jobetsugi is a "thin matcha," so it is a bit lighter in body than our Senjunomukashi, but still it is strong and bracing.
 Brewing Time: N/A
 Brewing Temp: 175º
