Single Origin Matcha Powder - 100g

Our Single Origin Matcha is sourced from the Miryoku-en farm in Yame, Fukuoka Japan. Miryoku-en is the family farm of renowned Japanese tea producer Eshima-san who has been growing tea since taking over the family business in 1960. 

Due to its ideal climate, the Yame region produces some of Japan's most vibrant and high quality teas. Sweeping valleys create a wide contrast of temperatures between morning and night, perfect for tea growing and harvesting. The dense morning fog makes it difficult for sunlight to penetrate the leaves, hence nutrients and their antioxidant properties move towards the tips of the leaves looking for sunlight. This process reduces bitterness in the tea and promotes a much sweeter and smooth flavour.

Preparation:
Because matcha is easily dissolved into liquid, you can have fun experimenting an array of preparation styles and uses. Below are a few different recipes to try out but feel free to take your experiments further by incorporating matcha into cooking, smoothies, juices and so on.
