Matcha

This premium ceremonial matcha delights with a well-balanced flavor, offering a rich umami depth. Its smooth, creamy texture and vibrant character are a testament to the revered Asahi cultivar, provid. It leans umami, creamy and sweet.

Water around 70–80 °C (158–176 °F). In a mug, steep 2–3 min. For gongfu, use 3–5 g per 100 ml, 15–30 s steeps. You'll get to see how the flavor changes across multiple rounds. The biggest mistake with green tea is using boiling water. Keep it well below that and you won't get bitterness.

Grown in Kyoto, Japan from the Asahi-tea cultivar.

Starts at $58.13 from Sing Tehus, or about $2.91/g. A 20g package gets you around 3 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $17.46 per session. Explore more green teas on Teadar.
