Ceremonial-grade matcha green tea Blendsmiths Ichibancha Matcha, 70 g

– “Ichibancha” means “first tea”, referring to the first harvest of tea leaves in the spring.

– Ceremonial-grade matcha.

– Delicate floral aromas mixed with beautifully balanced sweet and savoury notes, and topped off with a bright, grassy finish.

– To experience the best that this matcha has to offer, it’s recommended to brew it in the traditional, ceremonial manner, or mix with cold water—still or sparkling—for a refreshingly cool drink.

TIP: Avoid boiling water when making matcha! Temperatures of over 70 °C will extract the bitter tannins in your tea rather than the deliciously sweet notes.

HOW TO PREPARE?

– Use 1/2 tsp. (2 bamboo scoops / 2 g) per one 70-ml serving. 

– Pour matcha powder into a pre-warmed bowl. 

– Add 15 ml of water at a temperature of ~70 °C, then whisk to a smooth paste. 

– Add the remaining 55 ml of water, then continue whisking until combined.
