Matcha

This exquisite Matcha offers a robust, full-bodied flavor with remarkable sweetness and virtually no bitterness. Delicate notes of sweet mallowflower emerge, creating a smooth and satisfying cup. It leans umami, sweet and floral.

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 Samidori cultivar.

Starts at $59.70 from Sing Tehus, or about $1.99/g. A 30g package gets you around 5 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $11.94 per session. Explore more green teas on Teadar.
