Description
抹茶 (Matcha)
Kagoshima, Japan
Kagoshima - the home of the purpose-grown and processed “latte-grade” matcha. Oh, but this is no ordinary latte-grade matcha either, it’s JAS certified organic, it carries milk just right and it stays colour-intense. It’s even suitable on its own.
At an excellent price-point, this is the option for those who mainly serve their matcha milky and frothy.
Appearance: fine, bright green powder
Liquor: added to milk or milk alternative, green, frothy, creamy texture
Taste: with milk or milk alternative, baby spinach, green apple, double-cream
Process: steamed, lightly fired, machine-ground
*NB: Keep airtight and store in freezer to maintain freshness
Preparation:
Because matcha is easily dissolved into liquid, you can have fun experimenting an array of preparation styles and uses. Below are a few different recipes to try out but feel free to take your experiments further by incorporating matcha into cooking, smoothies, juices and so on.
