Matcha: Culinary (Marukyu Koyamaen - Culinary Grade)

GREEN TEA / MATCHA / LATTE Tasting Notes: bright • grassy • bitter greens This Culinary grade Japanese green tea powder is bright and grassy with a pleasant astringency that shines through a variety of sweeteners and dairy products. Great for lattes, baked goods and ice cream production, this Matcha is versatile and great for everyday use. We source our matcha from Marukyu Koyamaen, a highly regarded tea grower, procurer, and tea blender whose private tea estate, located in the heart of Uji, Kyoto, has a rich history dating back to 1704. Koyamaen has strict quality control systems in place that target a wide variety of issues that can affect the quality, taste, and characteristics of their tea: Teas are kept fresh using a unique drying system that reduces moisture in the leaf to an incredibly low level which is verified by an infrared optical moisture meter. Since a vibrant color is essential to the matcha experience, a colorimeter is utilized to ensure that the matcha has a naturally vibrant hue. Finally, the particle size of the matcha is strictly controlled which ensures each particle is fine enough to deliver an easy-to-blend, smooth-tasting beverage. Infusion: Sift 2 to 3 grams of powder into a bowl and whisk with 2 to 4 oz. of 175°F water until frothy. Enjoy! Ingredients: Camellia sinensis leaves. Caffeinated Origin: Kyoto, Japan
