Tasting Notes

{ "summary": "Naturally sweet, soft, and grassy; smooth and easygoing", "detail": "Gentle umami, a clean grassy edge, no bitterness; light notes of casaba melon and lettuce; some of the flavors found in other matchas, just a bit more muted" }

Mikes Rating

{ "briskness": 3, "body": 2, "aroma": 2 }

Ingredients

Green tea (only ingredient listed)

Caffeine

80 mg per standard 2g bowl -- "a little less than a typical cup of coffee"; note that matcha has more caffeine than the same amount of steeped green tea since the whole leaf is consumed

Brewing Instructions

{ "matcha_latte": { "time": "3 minutes", "serves": 1, "ingredients": "4g matcha (~1 tsp), 60ml water at 175F, 200-300ml steamed milk of choice, honey or simple syrup optional", "method": "Sift matcha into bowl, add 175F water, whisk until smooth and lump-free, pour heated milk, sweeten to taste", "tip": "Use 6g of matcha for a stronger, grassier latte; oat milk pairs especially well" }, "iced_matcha": { "time": "3 minutes", "serves": 1, "ingredients": "4g matcha, 120ml cold water, 120g ice cubes, honey or simple syrup optional", "method": "Add matcha and cold water to jar/shaker, seal and shake 15-20 seconds, pour over ice" }, "temperature_general": "175F" }

Dry Leaves

Made from Tencha, air-dried, then dried flakes ground between two stones just like centuries ago; result is a fine powder that is almost neon green

Liquor

Made by dissolving tea powder into water, no brewing like other teas -- "you drink the leaf"; thick and frothy from mixing; opaque brilliant green color

Body Note

Has some umami giving good mouth feel; add milk and it's even better

Storage Shelf Life

Keep it sealed, cool, and away from light, and refrigerate it after opening
