Hand picked and stone ground. 15 servings Suggested Preparation: Traditional Matcha (Usucha): Sift 2 grams of matcha into a bowl. Add 70-80 ml of hot water at 80°C. Whisk briskly in a zigzag motion until a fine froth appears on the surface. Matcha Latte: Sift 2 grams of matcha into a bowl. Add 30 ml of hot water at 80°C and whisk to dissolve. Pour into a cup and add 200 ml of steamed milk. Sweeten to taste. Production Process: Shading: The tea plants are shaded for 20-30 days before harvest to enhance amino acids and chlorophyll, which deepens the sweetness and colour of the leaves. Drying: The harvested leaves are dried using a special Tencha drying method, which enhances their aroma and flavour. Cutting and Sifting: The dried leaves are cut and sifted to remove impurities. Milling: The leaves are finely ground to 10-20 microns using traditional mills.
