Matcha comes from Uji, Japan.

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

Our Organic Matcha comes from the southern island of Kyushu in the area around Kagoshima, Japan. It is certified organic by the USDA. It is harvested in the early spring and thus has high levels of umami, though not as high as our Jobetsugi and other ceremonial grades. Organic Matcha can be consumed by itself or as a latte. Iced or hot, it’s your call!

Details: Matcha powdered green tea has been the pride of Uji, Japan, for several centuries. Recently, Kagoshima, Japan, has developed shaded organic tea fields specifically for matcha production.

Dry Leaves: This tea is made from a raw tea called Tencha that is air-dried. 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 in water. Unlike other teas, there is no brewing involved. You drink the leaves. The liquor is thick and frothy from whisking. It is an opaque, brilliant green color.

Aroma: This certified organic matcha has light notes of melon and lettuce.

Flavors: This spring harvest tea has good levels of amino acids that create casaba melon flavors tempered by light vegetal notes of spring lettuce.

Caffeine Level: Caffeinated

Body: Being organic, the amino acid levels are lower than conventional matchas (Jobetsugi), but there are still nice levels of mouth-filling umami. This umami flavor comes from the tea being harvested during the peak season.

Brewing Time: N/A

Brewing Temp: 175º
