Matcha bowl, dark brown

With the Matcha Mantoku we have a true rarity of the tea world in our selection. It is slightly more fired than usual and therefore has a very complex taste with a warm, velvety and nut-like flavor. Intense but almost without bitterness. It is not only suitable for the light Matcha (Usucha), but, due to its mild aroma, also for the thick preparation (Koicha). 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 kindly ask you to seal the Matcha well and store it in a cool and dark place.
