Matcha is a specific type of Japanese green tea (Tencha) that is shaded before harvest and then ground into a fine powder. It is not brewed like other teas: it is whisked with a bamboo whisk (chasen) in a flat-bottomed bowl (chawan) to achieve a smooth, frothy texture. This means that the entire tea leaf is consumed, unlike with brewed teas, allowing you to fully enjoy its benefits.
It is considered one of the most refined teas and is also one of the richest in caffeine, antioxidants, vitamin C, and magnesium. It was the tea consumed by Zen Buddhist monks to stay fully awake during their meditations when this religion took off in Japan. Today, it is reserved for the “chanoyu” tea ceremony, which is entirely based on the art of preparing this very special tea.
This organic Akashi matcha tea is a Japanese green tea that has been ground into powder. With a fresh, vegetal aroma, Akashi Matcha is more lively and astringent than our premium Fujitsubo Matcha, making it more suitable for training (to practice with a less expensive Matcha) or baking.
Grade: culinary (also discover our premium and ceremonial grade matcha teas).
Profile: vegetal, lively, and robust
Formats: 30g airtight box, 50g bulk refill bag, box and refill duo at a preferential price.
Benefits of matcha: it is one of the teas richest in antioxidants, vitamin C, and magnesium. Unlike infused tea, when you drink matcha, you consume the entire leaf and thus benefit from all its nutrients.
Storage: Store in the refrigerator after opening and consume within 6 months.
Sorting instructions: The entire packaging (box, lid, bag) and the refill bag should be placed in the recycling bin (see local instructions).
