Japanese Matcha, Hoshinotsuyu (Ceremonial)

Specification: Origin : Fukuoka, Yame, Japan ( single estate ) flavor notes: spinach, grass, seaweed Harvested : May 2026 Quality : high quality Hoshino Seichaen produces 5 quality levels of matcha tea for “thin” tea. The 5 quality levels differ in taste and the intensity of the green colour. The finest quality has the fewest bitter substances and the most intense green colour. The lower the quality, the more bitter substances, not to be confused with unpleasant bitter substances in a poor quality tea, and none of the teas from Hoshino are of low quality, therefore no unpleasant bitter substances. The bitter substances in Hoshino matcha are finely tuned, and in some teas only help to give more flavor and fullness. This matcha is suitable for what is called “thin” tea, which is still a full-bodied tea with creamy foam on top. Hoshinotsuyu is number 4 on the quality barometer, i.e. the second best. The taste is mild and the texture is creamy. In the aftertaste you can experience grass and seaweed as well as a mild mineral taste. This matcha has slightly mild bitter substances, which also contributes to the taste. Serve with a small sweet cake or some dried fruit. In Japan you will find an impressive range of “sweets” for matcha. These are often made from sweetened bean paste or sweetened rice. Store dry and cool. Ingredienser: grøn te
