Organic Premium matcha green tea powder from Japan

Organic Premium Matcha Green Tea Powder from Japan – Matcha tea, with its unique flavor and centuries-old tradition, has become a global sensation. It originated in Japan and is inspiring matcha culture around the world. But how is Japanese matcha different from the South Korean version?

Well, both of these matchas are made using a similar process: shade-grown plants are steamed, dried, and then finely ground into a powder. But there are subtle differences. South Korean factories benefit from volcanic soil and a subtropical climate, which give their matcha its characteristic pale green color and milder grassy flavor. In Japan, by contrast, the leaves are grown under artificial cover, which creates a better green color intensity and increases the chlorophyll and amino acid content.

The production of Japanese matcha is a painstaking process. As mentioned, the leaves are grown in the shade for several weeks before harvest, which intensifies the bright green color and increases the concentration of chlorophyll and amino acids. Once harvested, the leaves are steamed, dried, and carefully ground into a fine powder using granite stone mills.

Matcha tea recipe

Place 1/2-1 teaspoon of matcha (1.5g) in a cup or matcha bowl (the wide bottom of the bowl makes it easy and convenient to whisk the matcha in water and quickly obtain a froth) and pour in up to 50 ml or 100 ml of hot water (80°C). Whisk the matcha until your bowl is filled with a perfect jade green froth in about 20 seconds. You can add more water now if you want your matcha to be less strong. For best results, soak the whisk in hot water before use.

Matcha Chai Latte: Add warm or steamed plant-based milk (optionally whipped) to your prepared matcha, to taste. You can use any additional sweetener, such as coconut blossom sugar, maple syrup. You can add cinnamon, vanilla or cocoa powder to diversify the taste. You can prepare this cafe-style luxurious matcha latte in 5 minutes.
