Ceremonial matcha from Japan, speciality matcha from speciality tea shop Teasome.

Description

We are especially proud of our Matcha Kotobuki. It’s a very high-quality classic matcha with a rich, sweet taste and is produced completely without the use of artificial fertilisers and pesticides. It’s worth noting that this tea was grinded before being dispatched from Japan to our shop, so this is an extremely fresh product.

Tencha, is the pre-ground matcha tea leaves, which of course comes from the first tea harvest. The leaves are covered with darkened mats for around 22 days before being harvested. The tea’s qualities are additionally enhanced due to the volcanic soil on which the bushes grow. This tea is ideal for everyday matcha drinking in the light usucha variant. Due to a large order from our supplier, we are able to offer this tea at a lower price.

Brewing methods

Usucha style (lighter, foamy matcha):

1.6g/70ml water

75-80°C

Soak the fibers of the chasen (bamboo whisk) in warm water.

It’s worth sifting matcha through a strainer directly into the chawan (large tea bowl) to avoid clumping.

Add water and stir with the chasen 4-5 times in a sweeping circular motion at the bottom of the bowl to set the powder in motion. Then, for 30 seconds, vigorously move the chasen in a “W” shape back and forth at the bottom of the bowl.

Finally, gently run the chasen over the surface of the infusion to lightly break up any excess foam.
