[Matcha] Ujiyamasho Koyamaen Matcha Matsukaze 150g (Light Tea) POWDER Matcha Green Tea Yamasa Koyamaen Matsukaze is a convenient thin tea that you can enjoy every day with a flavor similar to gyokuro. It is an affordable thin tea matcha for lessons or making matcha at home, but it is also perfect for making sweets. Uji matcha with history and tradition Matcha is made by grinding a tea called tencha in a stone mill and turning it into powder. Like gyokuro, tencha is made in a tea garden under Taishi, protected from direct sunlight, and is carefully hand-picked. However, after the picked leaves are steamed, they are dried without being rolled like gyokuro and sencha. The stems and veins are then removed and only the fleshy parts are selected to make tencha. By carefully grinding tencha in a stone mill and turning it into powder, the soft aroma and flavor unique to matcha are created. In the past, jars were used to store and transport tencha tea, and they were left in warehouses or icehouses during the summer. The representative tea ceremony event "Kuchikiri" held around November was named "Kuchikiri" because the mouth of the jar, which was closed in the spring, was opened for the first time at this time of year to show the tea to guests. Nowadays, it is kept uniform throughout the year in a low-temperature warehouse. The components contained in tea leaves are water-soluble components that dissolve in water and fat-soluble components that do not dissolve in water. The infusion of tea that we usually drink contains only water-soluble components, but matcha is drunk as the tea leaves themselves, so you can ingest all the components. Matcha is thoroughly dried and finely ground to ensure quality, but if brewed as is, it can cause static electricity or become lumpy. Another reason is that matcha sinks under its own weight during storage. It is recommended to sift the matcha with a matcha sieve or tea strainer just before brewing the matcha, as this will result in a smooth, well-brewed tea.
