Matcha Hatsumukashi / Matcha Ceremony / Traditional Box 20g

A fine and elegant foam studded with fine bubbles like a cosmos in the bowl, then a beautiful scent of young green shoots still pure... Here you will find the typical universe of matcha, which in turn recalls that of the rooms dedicated to the cha-no-yu tea ceremony. Hatsumukashi surprises with its great sweetness at the end, a sweetness which is not revealed at the beginning but gradually opens up, in the same way that the texture of the tea differs between the first and the last sip. As the tasting progresses, the liquid thickens, becomes creamy and becomes "chewy". The finish is sweet: the last drop could be a dessert as it is rich in tastes and textures.

This matcha of superior quality comes from Okabe plantations in Shizuoka prefecture. Like tea gyokuro, hasIn order to reduce the bitterness linked to the development of catechins in the leaf, the plants were covered three weeks before harvest by darkening drapes with 90% opacity. The leaves are then ground into powder using a stone grinder. Okabe, nicknamed “the village of gyokuro » is in fact one of the three major production regions with Uji around Kyoto and Yame in Kyushu. Okabe stands out for its ideal conditions for growing tea, with a cool, humid mountain climate and fertile lands irrigated by the pure waters of the Asahina River. The Saemidori, Samidori and Asahi tea varieties are grown there, of which we have produced a blend of the first harvest leaves.

This superior green tea powder is also suitable for many uses in various culinary recipes.
