To keep up with increased global demand, we added a new Ceremonial Matcha from Uji, Kyoto available in 1kg black bags. This new SKU is grassy, creamy with a clean finish. Grade: Ceremonial Ceremonial Grade Matcha. Our matcha is hand-plucked, traditionally stone-milled, and air-freighted to ensure optimal freshness. Flavor: The flavor of our matcha comes from firing the tea leaves in higher heat than usual. The result: a toasty, nutty-like aroma with a clean & mellow vegetal finish devoid of bitterness. Stone-milling process: In older times, stone mills used to be rotated by hand, but nowadays the rotation is automated. The leaves are funneled down and ground in between two granite stones. The heat produced by the stone mills brings out the flavors of the leaves. Stone-ground Matcha has a deep flavor which a ball mill or a jet mill cannot make. HOW TO MAKE MATCHA: Scoop 1 teaspoon of matcha Slowly combine with 2.5oz of water at 175°F Whisk to remove lumps and continue until bubbly & frothy Sip as is or make a matcha latte MAKE A LATTE: Brews one 8 oz drink Pour Matcha over 5-6 oz of steamed milk or pour over iced milk.
