Organic Premium Matcha Tea from Japan
Camellia sinensis is a green tea powder that has been used in traditional Japanese tea ceremony for nearly a thousand years. The best tea buds are harvested and dried, then ground into powder. This powder has a unique, peculiar taste with a slight hint of bitterness. This type of matcha is a classic. It can be used not only to make a drink, but also as a food ingredient or natural food colouring. Research into matcha and its components has shown a range of benefits. Matcha powder’s trace elements help preserve normal iron metabolism, healthy skin, normal mucosal condition, protection of blood vessels against oxidative stress, normal muscle function, normal blood pressure, healthy bones, red blood cell and haemoglobin function, transport of oxygen in the body and normal blood clotting function.
The traditional matcha whisk, or chasen, is used in the Japanese tea ceremony to make matcha tea with foam. The whisk is handmade from a single piece of bamboo. Precise cuts are created by flexible bristles that are gently curved at the bottom and connected at the top and finished with a special wooden handle.
Matcha tea making: Place 1/2-1 teaspoon of matcha (1.5g) in a mug or matcha bowl (the wide bottom of the bowl makes it easy and convenient to whisk the matcha in water and the foam will form quickly) and pour up to 100 ml of hot water (80 °C) over it. Whisk the matcha until the bowl is filled to a perfect nephrite green froth in about 20 seconds. You can now add more water if you want the matcha to taste milder. You can add a herbal drink and/or sweeten to taste. For best results, the whisk should be soaked in hot water before use.
