Character

Flavour

Our Matcha Uji Premium Organic is the perfect everyday companion and is loved by connoisseurs and beginners alike for its invigorating and creamy character. The undertone is defined by a creamy umami and a long-lasting sweetness, interspersed with aromatic hints of sesame and a touch of vanilla. The vegetal bitterness is present without being overpowering and is slightly reminiscent of walnuts, which also contributes to the refreshing character of the matcha. Thanks to the fine grinding on real granite stone mills in Uji, the powder dissolves well in water and thus contributes to the wonderfully creamy consistency. A versatile universal matcha for regular consumption – ideal as a classic usucha and for premium quality matcha lattes.

Matcha

Matcha, alongside gyokuro, is considered one of the finest of Japanese green teas. Unlike other teas, matcha is produced from shaded leaves that have been milled to a fine powder. The resulting tea contains the whole tea leaf and all its nutrients, not just water-soluble compounds. The production of matcha is time-consuming and demanding: the best qualities are gently ground in granite stone mills that can only produce a few grammes per hour due to the slow pace. Quality matcha has an intensely sweet and umami flavour that even in high concentrations (such as in the dark Koicha tea) is only minimally or not at all bitter.

Preparation

Brewing Guide

Using a bamboo chashaku spoon, place two heaped scoops (or approx. one teaspoon) of matcha powder into a matcha bowl of your choice, then pour approx. 80ml hot water (between 60°C and 80°C) into the bowl. Try not to pour the water directly onto the matcha, as this will increase clumping.

To achieve the classic matcha foam, a matcha whisk is indispensable. When using a matcha whisk, the most important thing is of course to master the correct movement: circular and typical whisking movements will result in little to no foam, while holding the whisk at an angle of about 90° in the bowl and moving it back and forth in a tight zigzag pattern with your wrist while moving your arm across the bowl and back again will help you achieve that iconic matcha frothiness. Make sure to touch the bottom of the bowl only lightly with the whisk. The faster you perform this movement, the quicker and easier it is to create a wonderful foam. Practice makes perfect! Enjoy!

Recommended Accessories

To achieve the optimal texture, flavour and nutritional benefits of matcha, we recommend using a matcha sifter (furui) and whisk (chasen). To accurately measure and serve matcha powder, we further recommend using a traditional wooden spoon known as a chashaku.
