Kabuse Powder Soshun - Organic half shaded tea powder

A green tea powder from the 1st picking in May. Very aromatic with a delicate astringency. Recommended for light matcha (usucha) and ideal for mixed drinks and green tea cocktails. Unlike matcha, kabuse powder is not made from tencha, but from the whole tea leaf. The tea plants for Kabuse powder are shaded by 50% instead of 90% and thus grow in partial shade. By grinding the whole leaf, kabuse powder contains more tannins than matcha and has a stronger flavour. Its strong green colour and stronger aroma bring out the full flavour of green tea. Whether in cocktails, ice cream or milkshakes, Kabuse powder is an all-rounder. To preserve the valuable flavours and ingredients of the powder in the best possible way, please close the bag tightly and store it in a cool, dark place.

The Matcha Premium has a very well-rounded taste. Slightly mild and nut-like it balances between tartness and sweetness. It has an intense fragrance and a strong green colour. Matcha Premium is particularly suitable for thin preparation (Usucha). Genuine Japanese Matcha freshly ground in Germany The tea plants from which Matcha is made are traditionally 90% shaded. The plants develop a lot of chlorophyll, theanine and caffeine, but slightly fewer bitter substances. After steaming & drying the tea leaves, the leaf tissue is separated from the leaf veins. The delicate, flake-like leaf tissue particles are called "Tencha" and are later very slowly ground into high-quality Matcha on traditional granite stone mills. In order to preserve the sensitive ingredients in the best possible way, we at KEIKO grind the Matcha on genuine Japanese granite stone mills directly at our location in Diepholz, fresh when required. Did you know that traditional Matcha develops uniquely fine aromas, from mild and nut-like to intensive and grassy thanks to the elaborate production techniques? Storage In order to preserve the precious aromas and ingredients of Matcha in the best possible way, we recommend to seal the Matcha well and store it in a cool and dark place.
