Origin
Born in the fertile landscapes of Yame, this matcha is a testament to the fine art of tea cultivation. In a region known for its exquisite Gyokuro tea, the tea plants thrive in ideal conditions. The result is a matcha of unparalleled quality, characterized by an excellent taste, a bright color and a deep, rich aroma.
Manufacturing
In a process similar to Gyokuro, it is grown using traditional methods in which the tea plants are shaded with reeds and straw to block light before harvesting. This gives the leaves of the Yabukita cultivar, hand-picked in the first harvest in May, their unique character. Its production, characterized by traditional grinding in stone mills, unfolds a sensory experience that invigorates the senses and honors Yame's rich tea culture.
The taste
The flavor composition of this matcha is a true work of art. It combines sweet basic notes with gentle fruit aromas and a distinctive umami note. It is ideal for matcha newbies and also offers connoisseurs a sophisticated discovery. It is best enjoyed pure as a tea or as a creamy matcha latte to experience its full range of flavors.

Matcha tea preparation
After a little practice, matcha tea can be prepared in no time. Not only does it serve as pure enjoyment, but it also opens the door to many other creative recipes.
1. Seven
Carefully sift 2 grams of matcha (about 1 teaspoon) into a bowl to prevent lumps from forming.
2. Heating
Add approx. 70 ml of hot water. It should no longer boil to protect the matcha.
3. Stir
Chase the matcha and water together in a Z-shaped motion for about 20 seconds.
4. Enjoy
As soon as a creamy foam forms, enjoy the tea or use it for creations such as matcha latte.

Why does high-quality matcha form clumps?
Interestingly, lumps in matcha are not a sign of poor quality. In fact, high-quality matcha that is very finely ground tends to clump even with minimal moisture. Lower-quality matcha, which tends to be more coarsely ground, exhibits this tendency less strongly.
To prevent lumps from forming in matcha, it is recommended to pass the matcha powder through a fine sieve before preparation.
