Origin
Born in the fertile landscapes of Yame, this Matcha is a testament to the high art of tea cultivation. In a region known for its exquisite Gyokuro tea, the tea plants thrive under 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 that of Gyokuro, it is cultivated using traditional methods in which the tea plants are shaded with reed and straw before harvest to block the light. This gives the leaves of the Yabukita cultivar, which were 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 enlivens the senses and honors the rich tea culture of Yame.
Taste
The flavor composition of this Matcha is a true masterpiece. It combines sweet base notes with gentle fruit aromas and a distinctive umami note. It is ideal for Matcha beginners and also offers connoisseurs a sophisticated discovery. It is best enjoyed pure as tea or as a creamy Matcha Latte to experience its full flavor diversity.

Matcha tea preparation
After some practice, matcha tea is prepared in no time. It serves not only as a pure delight but also opens the door to many other creative recipes.
1. Sift
Sift 2 grams of matcha (about 1 teaspoon) carefully into a bowl to prevent clumping.
2. Heating up
Pour about 70 ml of hot water. It should no longer be boiling to protect the Matcha.
3. Stirring
Whisk matcha and water with a Chasen in Z-shaped movements for about 20 seconds.
4. Enjoy
As soon as a creamy foam forms, enjoy the tea or use it for creations like Matcha Latte.

Why does high-quality matcha form clumps?
Interestingly, clumps in matcha are not a sign of inferior quality. In fact, high-quality matcha, which is ground very finely, tends to form clumps even with minimal moisture. Lower-quality matcha, which tends to be ground coarser, shows this tendency less strongly.
To prevent clumping in matcha, it is recommended to sift the matcha powder through a fine sieve before preparation.
