Ichibancha means “first tea”, referring to the first harvest of tea leaves in the spring. Ceremonial quality, perfect for traditional preparation A ceremonial grade matcha crafted from the finest spring tea harvests, showcasing the purest expression of terroir. Delicately floral on the nose, with beautifully balanced sweet and savoury notes, and a bright ‘cut grass’ finish. To appreciate the best of this sweet and delicate matcha we recommend making it in a traditional, ceremonial style or drunk cold with water – still or sparkling! Top Tip: Avoid make matcha with boiling water! Water over 70°C will extract the bitter tannins in your tea rather than the delicious, sweet notes.
