Premium Grade 100% Rare Japanese Yame Matcha Green Tea Powder, 20kg

The freshest first-harvest tea leaves of spring are used to create this vibrant and fresh 100% Yame-produced 'matcha green tea powder'. Various grades of matcha are available, even within the realm of "Mukoh Matcha." Generally, the matcha found on the market falls into the categories of Culinary Grade, Confectionary Grade, or occasionally a slightly lower grade. Matcha is often used to make lattes with milk or incorporated into desserts, which means you don't necessarily need to obsess over the grade to enjoy it. However, if you aim to savor the essence of matcha itself or are interested in matcha for its rich natural nutritional content, the Premium Grade (Red), (Purple) is recommended, as it can be easily dissolved in water, delivering a delicious experience.

For those seeking a taste of "upper-grade matcha," the Ceremonial Grade (Gold), (Gyokuro), (Yame Traditional Authentic Gyokuro) is a consideration. This matcha is ground using stone or ceramic ball-mill methods, ensuring that lower heat is introduced, preserving the true essence of matcha's flavor.

Yame Tea is a brand of tea produced in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan, and is a rare and highly esteemed brand, accounting for only about 3% of the total Japanese tea production. The Authentic, Rare, High-Quality, Valuable 100% Yame Matcha Green Tea Powder is made from Yame green tea leaves, known for their high quality and often considered one of the top green teas in Japan.

Matcha Grade is available in different grades, such as Ceremonial, Premium, and Culinary, which are determined by the quality of the tea leaves used, the location and method of cultivation, and the processing methods. The green tea component "epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg)" is easily extracted at high temperatures above 80 degrees Celsius, while the umami component "amino acids" is easily extracted at low temperatures. "Caffeine" can be reduced by brewing tea at low temperatures.

To maintain the quality of the matcha, it is recommended to store it in a way that avoids high temperature and humidity, and if possible, in the refrigerator, while being careful not to transfer the fragrance.

Matcha (powdered green tea) has become not only a favorite beverage but also a daily, convenient, and delicious option. "Mukoh Matcha" prides itself on delivering high-quality green tea and matcha sourced exclusively from Fukuoka, Japan's lush, water-rich Yame region, where tea production has been passed down through generations of expert farmers over the past 600 years.

Matcha has a long-standing cultural position in Japanese tea ceremonies and is considered a symbol of tranquility and relaxation. Incorporating the habit of drinking matcha into your daily routine can help you feel calm and at peace. Matcha has a distinctive flavor that sets it apart from other types of tea, and it can be enjoyed as a hot or cold beverage, as well as in cooking and sweets.
