Matcha Chiran 100 gram

Matcha tea from Chiran, Kagoshima. Suitable for preparing usucha (thin tea) and excellent for use as an ingredient in cooking and baking or Matcha latte.

Matcha is traditionally used in the Japanese tea ceremony, but today it is also commonly enjoyed as a health drink and used to add flavour to food and baked goods.

To prepare matcha, use a bamboo matcha whisk and a bowl. Whisk the matcha powder with water, adjusting the proportions to suit your preference. Note that the powder does not dissolve, as it consists of finely ground tea leaves.

Matcha is a powdered green tea made from high-quality Japanese tea leaves. It is produced from tencha, a green tea that is shaded from sunlight for 21 days before harvest. The production process is time-consuming, and traditional stone grinding produces only around 40 grams of matcha per hour.
