Matcha is a specific type of Japanese green tea (Tencha) that is shaded before harvest and then ground into a fine powder. It is not brewed like other teas: it is whisked with a bamboo whisk (chasen) in a flat-bottomed bowl (chawan) to obtain a creamy, frothy texture. This means that the entire tea leaf is consumed, unlike with brewed teas, allowing you to fully enjoy its benefits. It is considered one of the most refined teas and is also one of the richest in theine, antioxidants, vitamin C, and magnesium. It was the tea consumed by Zen Buddhist monks to stay fully awake during their meditations when this religion took off in Japan. Today, it is reserved for the “chanoyu” tea ceremony, which is entirely based on the art of preparing this very special tea.
This premium Fujitsubo Matcha has fresh, slightly chocolatey vegetal notes, with little astringency. Its roundness, creaminess, and sweetness give it a light and delicious foam with a very pronounced umami flavor, a sign of quality.
It is consumed in the traditional way (whipped in hot water) but can also be used in lattes and culinary creations. Translated with DeepL.com (free version).
