Pure Matcha Green Tea

Pure Japanese Matcha Green Tea is a traditional and exquisite tea form that has captivated Japan for centuries. Made from finely ground shade-grown tea leaves, pure matcha offers unparalleled taste, vibrant color, and a rich, creamy texture.

Brewing Instructions:

Sift 1-2 teaspoons of pure matcha into a bowl. Add 2-3 oz of hot water (around 175°F/80°C). Using a bamboo whisk, whisk briskly in a zigzag motion until a frothy layer forms on the surface. Enjoy your matcha straight or add more water to taste.

History:

Originating in China, Matcha Green Tea found its true home in Japan, where it was introduced by the Zen monk Eisai in the 12th century. It gained prominence in Japanese culture, particularly during the traditional tea ceremony called "Chanoyu." Pure matcha is distinguished by its vibrant color and deep umami flavor, cultivated through the careful shading of tea plants before harvest.

Possible Health Benefits:

Matcha Green Tea is known for its potential health benefits, as it contains higher concentrations of antioxidants, particularly catechins, compared to other green teas. It may help support a healthy metabolism, provide natural energy, and promote overall well-being.Show Sources

Izu Matcha is a fabulous example of a high quality Japanese Matcha grown in the Izu peninsula, not far from Tokyo. The tea has a pale emerald green color and when consumed on its own, frothed up with a whisk, has an almost jammy-smoothness belied by a somewhat sweetly astringent cup. The best thing to do with your matcha is experiment.
