Organic Matcha
Starting at 11.14€
Matcha is an exclusive green tea made from tencha leaves - a specially selected tea leaf that, like Gyokuro, is grown under shade for some time before harvesting. This shading intensifies both the flavour and the nutritional content by raising the chlorophyll level in the leaves, giving matcha its deep green colour and characteristic umami-rich flavour. While many products on the market today are marketed as matcha, they often consist of ground sencha. Genuine matcha, like our Organic Matcha, however, are always made from tencha leaves, which provide a completely different level of flavour and quality.
The Organic Matcha is an organic, carefully cultivated matcha with a rich, smooth and balanced flavour profile. It offers a harmonious combination of umami and greenness and a subtle sweetness. The smooth texture, deep green colour and thick, soft foam that forms when whisked create a sensory experience that highlights the authentic, rich character of a high-quality matcha. Perfect for both ceremonial use and everyday enjoyment, this organic matcha delivers a rich experience.
Preparation of Usucha
Usucha is the classic matcha cup with a beautiful light green foam. The result is light, airy and refreshing.
- Dosage: Use about 2 g.
- Water volume: add 60-100 ml of water.
- Temperature: 70-80°C.

Tips
- Sieve the tea: Strain into the bowl to avoid lumps.
- Preheat the bowl: Rinse the bowl with hot water and dry it out before preparation.
- Softening the whisk: Leave the whisk straws in warm water for a few seconds before use to make them soft and pliable.
