Absolute purity and intense deep taste
This Single Origin Matcha is just a pure work of art from our producers and the tea master at Matcha Botanicals.
The tea shrubs producing this ceremonial quality are grown on exceptional plots, ideally exposed, with a unique soil that forces the plant to give the best in its leaves, and ground at the thinnest level attainable for a Matcha.
The result is one of rare quality: a perfectly balanced aromatic power with marked vegetal notes, a creamy texture with abundant foam, a bright emerald green color, a scent in which can already be perceived its umami.
Once harvested, the leaves are washed, steamed to freeze their aroma, then dried in large streams of hot air. The milling process always takes place less than 30 days before this Matcha arrives in your first cup, giving incomparable freshness. For this uncompromising quality, the extremely thin grinding is carried out with very low output grinding wheels: only 20 grams per hour per wheel are produced.
At this stage, the temperature of the grinding wheels is regulated and monitored extremely precisely: this is essential to preserve its natural qualities and to obtain the finest possible grinding.
The leaves were harvested in early May, which is the best quality harvest time of the year, and only the youngest leaves are selected. It therefore contains the maximum amount of chlorophyll, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, as can be expected.
Made in Japan, Uji, Kyoto region.
