Matcha Shizen, 30g pack, organic

A stunning ceremonial grade matcha from three weeks shaded tea bushes that were plucked during the first Spring harvest in the wider Kyoto area, which is considered as the cradle of Japanese tea. For the tea at hand, leaves from Yabukita, Okumidori and Asanoka cultivars were blended by a specialist blend master in Kyoto. Blending, called gogumi in Japan, is a core historical practice for matcha teas in order to balance the flavour and most matchas today are still blended, although single cultivar teas are also becoming more popular. The tea was ground with a traditional stone mill to create this warm, creamy powdered tea with a strong umami flavour just enough bitterness in the finish. Certified EU organic.
