A vivid green ceremonial matcha from Kagoshima, whisked to a smooth, gently grassy cup of calm focus.
Shipped across Portugal and Europe.
Description
Shade-grown and stone-ground to a fine, vibrant green powder, this matcha from Kagoshima in southern Japan whisks into a frothy cup with a smooth, grassy taste and a soft, lingering sweetness. In the weeks before harvest the leaves are sheltered from direct sun, deepening their colour and drawing out the amino acids that give matcha its mellow character. With its gentle caffeine and natural L-theanine, it is long valued for a sense of calm, focused energy. Let your water cool to around 75°C, then whisk briskly with a bamboo chasen until smooth. A quiet ritual to enjoy at O Cais or to take home, loose and unhurried.
Preparation
Add 1 spoon to 2 spoons of the “Chashaku” measure in your Japanese “Chawan” bowl with 150-200ml of hot water; | The water to prepare this tea must not be boiling, otherwise the tea will be bitter; | Let the water cool to 75º before adding the matcha; | Stir vigorously until all the tea dissolves; | To avoid the formation of small lumps, you must stir your matcha with a fork or using the “Chasen” (bamboo brush, suitable for stirring matcha tea), After using the brush, wash it with warm water and place it in the matcha brush holder “ Matcha Whisk Holder ”; | Matcha tea should be consumed immediately after preparation to prevent it from becoming bitter,
