Organic Matcha Ceremonial A – Drinking 50g

This Ceremonial Matcha is a shade grown green tea made of finely stone ground tea leaves from the first harvest of the Spring in Japan.  This is the highest grade. Ceremonial Matcha tea has a great green color, because it contains a lot of chlorofyl. It is a shade grown green tea that comes in a powdered substance. The tea leaves are steamed, dried and ground into 100% pure teapowder. This quality is made to drink pure and tastes grassy, creamy and light sweet.

The necessities to make Matcha are: a bamboo whisk, a bamboo spoon, a bowl (= Matcha set) 70-80 Celsius degrees water. How to make Matcha?

• Put 1 bamboo spoon (1/2 gram) of Matcha in a bowl
• Add 1 table spoon of water
• Make a smooth paste with the bamboo whisk
• Add 60 ml of 70-80 degrees Celcius water to the bowl
• Whisk it up for 20 sec. in a fast W-movement to get foam on top.

Besides the Ceremonial Matcha A  there are two more grades of Matcha, namely Premium Matcha B and Classic Matcha C. For making a Matcha Latte the Premium Matcha is perfect. For cooking and baking the Classic Matcha is most appropriate, because this grade C is lower in quality (not suitable for drinking) and more bitter and stronger in taste. Perfect for baking a delicious Matcha cake! Read here more about the different grades of Matcha!
