Premium 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.' There are various grades of matcha available, even within the realm of "Mukoh Matcha," with the matcha found on the market generally falling into the categories of Culinary Grade, Confectionary Grade, or occasionally a slightly lower grade. While matcha is often used to make lattes with milk or incorporated into desserts, where the grade may not be as crucial, those seeking to savor the essence of matcha itself or interested in its rich natural nutritional content are recommended to opt for the Premium Grade (Red) or (Purple), which can be easily dissolved in water for a delicious experience.

For those seeking a taste of "upper-grade matcha," the Ceremonial Grade (Gold), (Gyokuro), or (Yame Traditional Authentic Gyokuro) may be considered. These grades are stone (Gold), ceramic ball-mill (Gyokuro), or (Yame Traditional Authentic Gyokuro) ground, ensuring that lower heat is introduced, which preserves the true essence of matcha's flavor. This Premium Grade (Red) matcha is sugar-free, additive-free, salt-free, color-free, and fragrance-free, allowing it to be mixed with hot water, water, or milk as it is, or used for sweetening and in dishes.

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

The different matcha grades 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 avoid high temperature and humidity, and if possible, store it in the refrigerator, taking care not to transfer the fragrance.

Matcha (powdered green tea) has become not only a favorite beverage but also a daily, convenient, and delicious option. It can be simply dissolved in water or hot water to enjoy its natural vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, catechins, theanine, and caffeine. It is also recommended to mix it with supplements like protein for a matcha-flavored treat.

"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 used in cooking and sweets.
