Description
Matcha
Matcha is the vibrant heart of Chado, the Japanese Tea Ceremony. This fine powder, born from meticulous tradition in Uji, Kyoto, embodies the essence of Japanese tea culture. Young gyokuro leaves, nurtured in shade for vibrant color and umami depth, are hand-picked at spring’s peak. Dried with care, their veins meticulously removed, they transform into tencha, ready for their final dance. In granite mills, these treasures are ground into a mesmerizingly fine, jade-hued powder – the soul of matcha.
Flavor Notes
Embrace the ritual. In your chosen teacup (chawan), measure 2 grams of matcha powder (using a matcha-saji). Awaken its essence with a touch of hot water (71-82°C, 160-180°F), using a bamboo whisk (chasen) to coax forth a frothy emerald paste (usucha). Gently add the remaining water (around 100ml), and behold – a vibrant elixir awaits. Savor each sip, a journey through Japanese tradition. Let matcha transport you to a world of serenity and grace, a testament to the enduring beauty of ritual.
