Organic Ceremonial Matcha: A Tradition of Excellence and Wellness

Delve into the world of our Organic Ceremonial Matcha, a superior green tea powder that embodies the essence of Japanese tradition and wellness. This exquisite matcha is sourced from the pristine tea fields of Japan, where expert tea masters cultivate and harvest the finest tea leaves with meticulous care. The result is a vibrant green powder, renowned for its smooth texture, rich flavor, and numerous health benefits.

How to Prepare Your Perfect Cup:

1. Measure: Begin by using a bamboo scoop (chashaku) to measure 1-2 grams of our premium matcha powder into a traditional matcha bowl (chawan).
2. Sift: To ensure a smooth, lump-free tea, sift the matcha powder through a fine sieve.
3. Add Water: Heat water to approximately 175°F (80°C). Pour 70-80ml of this hot water over the sifted matcha powder.
4. Whisk: Using a bamboo whisk (chasen), whisk the mixture vigorously in a zigzag motion. Continue until a fine, frothy layer forms on the surface, indicating that the matcha is perfectly blended.
5. Enjoy: Hold the chawan with both hands and sip your matcha directly from the bowl. Appreciate the rich umami flavours and the deep connection to the tradition with each sip.

Performing the Traditional Japanese Tea Ceremony:

The Japanese tea ceremony, known as “Chanoyu” or “The Way of Tea,” is a ceremonial preparation and consumption of matcha. It is an art form that emphasizes harmony, respect, purity, and tranquillity. Here’s a simplified guide to experiencing this timeless ritual:

1. Preparation: Arrange all the necessary utensils (chawan, chashaku, chasen) neatly. Begin by purifying each utensil with care, symbolizing the removal of dust and the preparation of the mind and spirit.
2. Serving: The host scoops matcha into the chawan, pours hot water, and whisks it into a frothy mixture. The bowl is then served to the guest with both hands, demonstrating respect and humility.
3. Receiving: The guest receives the bowl, admires its craftsmanship, rotates it slightly to avoid drinking from the front, and then takes a sip. This act is performed with mindfulness, savouring the matcha’s rich flavour and thoughtful preparation.
4. Reflection: After the tea is consumed, both host and guest share a moment of silence, reflecting on the beauty of the tea, the environment, and the peaceful connection they share.

Health Benefits:

Our Organic Ceremonial Matcha is not only a cultural treasure but also a powerhouse of health benefits:

• Boosts Metabolism: Matcha helps in weight management by enhancing calorie burning and fat oxidation.
• Enhances Calmness: The amino acid L-Theanine found in matcha promotes a state of relaxation and calm alertness, balancing the stimulating effects of caffeine.
• Detoxifies Naturally: With its high chlorophyll content, matcha acts as a natural detoxifier, cleansing the body of harmful toxins.
