Character
Tasting Notes
Our Matcha Uji Premium Organic is the perfect everyday companion, beloved by connoisseurs and newcomers alike for its invigorating and creamy character. Its base note is characterised by a rich umami and a long-lasting sweetness, interwoven with aromatic hints of sesame and a touch of vanilla. The refined vegetal bitterness is present without being overpowering, reminiscent slightly of walnut kernels. It also contributes to the refreshing character of the matcha. Due to its fine grinding on authentic granite stone mills in Uji, the powder dissolves excellently in water, enhancing its wonderfully creamy consistency. A versatile, all-purpose matcha for everyday enjoyment – ideal as a classic Usucha or for a premium-quality matcha latte.

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.

Cultivation & Processing
Preparation
MAKING MATCHA
Using a Chashaku, place two scoops (approx. one teaspoon) in a Matcha bowl of your choice. Then pour approximately 80ml of hot water between 60°C and 80°C into the bowl, without pouring directly onto the powder to avoid clumping. For the next step, a Matcha whisk is undoubtedly the best choice for achieving the iconic Matcha foam.
The key to the perfect Matcha is in the motion. Circular movements and a typical whisking motion should be avoided, as little-to-no foam will form. Hold the Matcha whisk at an angle of around 90° in the bowl, allowing it to gently scrape the base without pressing against it. Now move it straight up and down from the wrist while moving your arm to the left and right, creating a ‘’W‘’ or ‘’M‘’ movement. The faster you perform this movement, the easier it is to create a wonderfully fluffy foam. Practice makes perfect – enjoy!
RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES
To achieve the optimal texture and flavour of matcha, as well as to maximally preserve its bioactive compounds, we recommend using a matcha sifter (furui) and whisk (chasen). To accurately measure and serve matcha powder, we further recommend using a traditional bamboo spoon known as a chashaku.
