Japanese Green Tea

(Would you like Iced Tea? If so, This item is also suitable for Iced Matcha. You can see "Iced Tea Recipes" by clicking here.) The highest quality Matcha is exclusively grown and produced in the rolling hills of Uji, in the ancient city of Kyoto, where Hibiki-an is located. Japanese tea culture, such as the tea ceremony, was developed in Kyoto. It is one of the reasons the techniques of growing highest grade Matcha intensively accumulated in the Uji region. Our House Matcha is Ichibancha, the first tea harvest of the year, like all our teas, and is carefully grown in the shade for 20 to 30 days before harvest by the way of "Jikagise". Despite the fact that House Matcha is our entry grade, we are confident with the quality and value. If you have drank Matcha sometimes, please compare our price and taste with other companies. We are certain you will immediaely detect the value of our House Matcha. Our House Matcha is perfect for those new to the art of Matcha or those who drink it quite often and would like a high quality everyday Matcha that is also a good value! Features of this tea Mellow aroma : Flavor : Bitter taste : Shaded from sunlight by the way of 'Jikagise' Matcha Matcha, or powdered green tea, has a wonderful aroma, silky froth, and rich, mellow taste. High quality Matcha such as ours, is not bitter but smooth and mellow. As one moves up the scale toward the top grade of Matcha, the color becomes a more vivid green and the flavor becomes even more noble, smooth and mellow. Matcha is made from new tea leaves that have been carefully grown under in the shade for 20 to 30 days before they are harvested, steamed and dried. Much Theanine, which is the source of its sweet mellow taste and noble aroma, is created in tea leaves by shaded from sunlight. The dried leaves are then ground with a traditional stone mortar and pestle, called a Hikiusu. Unlike tea leaves, where one drinks an infusion made from the leaves, Matcha is consumed in its entirety, so you can directly ingest the whole beneficial constituents of Matcha.
