Compared to our other Matcha teas, this Matcha has the highest sweetness, lowest bitterness and a very creamy-soft mouthfeel. The high quality can be recognized by the fragrant cocoa-like aromas and the bright green color. This is only achieved by shading the tea plants for a long time before harvesting, selecting only the most tender tea leaves from the first plucking and careful further processing.
The matcha powder is very finely ground. This means that the powderdissolves easily in water - ideal for matcha beginners. It is also ideal for making healthy matcha ice cream or milkshakes. Just give it a try!

The matcha can also be drunk by beginners without hesitation due to its easy solubility. Normally, a Chasen (茶筅), a matcha whisk made of bamboo, is used. The whisk is used to mix the powder with the water and whisk the matcha until frothy. Alternatively, you can also use a small whisk or milk frother.
