A Chinese matcha produced from certified organic crops at the Tai Shan Tea Plantation, located in the northwestern part of Zhejiang Province. Like high-quality Gyokuro, the selected tea bushes are shaded for a period prior to harvesting to achieve a higher chlorophyll content. Visually, this finely powdered tea is a light reed-green; once whisked into a froth, it reveals a rather robust character, offering full body and the astringency typical of authentic green tea. The brew, featuring moss-green hues, has a bold, fresh bouquet and a slight bitterness on the finish.
Certified organic green tea from China.

Step-by-step preparation
Let the water cool: Boil the water and allow it to cool to approximately 70°C–80°C (wait about 5–10 minutes with the kettle lid open).
Sift the powder (optional but recommended): Sift 1 to 2 bamboo scoops of matcha powder through a fine sieve directly into the bowl. This prevents clumps and ensures a finer foam.
Add water: Pour approximately 70–80 ml of the cooled water over the powder.
Whisking & frothing:
Take the bamboo whisk and move it briskly using your wrist in an "M" or "W" motion (do not stir in a circular motion!).
After about 15–30 seconds, a fine-textured, jade-green foam will form.
Enjoy: Carefully lift the whisk out and drink the matcha immediately while fresh.
