Premium matcha green organic tea powder from Japan
Matcha, a green tea powder, has captivated the world with its unique taste, centuries of tradition and health benefits. Originating in Japan, matcha tea has become a global phenomenon, inspiring matcha culture and transcending traditional tea ceremonies.
Matcha’s journey from ancient ceremonial rituals to modern healthy living has found its place as one of the most famous drinks in the world. This green tea powder continues to fascinate with its rich history, cultural significance and undeniable health benefits.
Premium Japanese matcha:
Making Japanese matcha is an arduous process. As mentioned, the leaves are grown in the shade for several weeks before harvesting, which increases their green colour and the concentration of chlorophyll and amino acids. The harvested leaves are steamed, dried and carefully ground into a fine powder using granite grinders.
Matcha health benefits:
Matcha has gained immense popularity due to its many health benefits. As a green tea powder, matcha retains all the nutrients found in tea leaves, making it a powerful source of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.
Matcha is a popular choice for those seeking a balanced lifestyle. Many people appreciate matcha for its ability to help maintain focus and calmness while also conserving energy. In addition, the chlorophyll it contains can contribute to natural purification processes and remove harmful toxins.
The art of matcha making:
Matcha is not just a simple brew like regular tea. Instead, it involves a unique ritual known as “Chanoyu” or the Japanese tea ceremony. The ceremony emphasises attention and aesthetic appreciation. Matcha powder is whisked in hot water with a bamboo whisk called a chasen until the green tea is frothy and velvety. The peaceful matcha making and tasting process is an essential part of this tea ceremony. Enjoy every sip of this beautiful sparkling drink!
Matcha tea recipe:
Place 1/2-1 teaspoon of matcha (1.5 g) in a cup or matcha bowl (a wide-bottomed bowl makes it easy and convenient to mix the matcha with water and quickly foam) and pour up to 50 or 100 ml of hot water (80 °C) over it. Whisk the matcha until the bowl is filled to a perfect nephrite green froth in about 20 seconds. You can now add more water if you want the matcha to be milder. For best results, the whisk should be soaked in hot water before use.
Matcha Chai Latte:
To the already prepared matcha, add a warm or boiled herbal drink to taste (may be whisked). Any additional sweetener such as coconut sugar or maple syrup may be used. Cinnamon, vanilla or cocoa powder can be added to enrich the flavour. This café-style luxury matcha latte can be made in 5 minutes.
