Ceremony Organic Matcha | Japan | 2 Packs | Kyoto | 1.4oz x 2 |
Product Description
|
Matcha is green tea in a powdered form; instead of being strained as in most teas, the leaves are whisked right into the tea. Aside from giving the tea a unique and varied flavor, it also provides innumerable health benefits to those who enjoy it, whether regularly or on occasion. Ceremony grade organic Matcha green tea is created from our early 1st harvest. This delicate tea is, as its name suggests, reserved for the notorious and elaborate Japanese Tea Ceremony. The ceremony grade is Ryu Mei’s sweetest, most vibrant Matcha; our highest quality, it is a bestseller among its peers as a green tea product. Since the tea leaves for ceremonial Matcha are harvested at their youngest phase, they retain the pleasant flavors and numerous nutrients stored throughout the winter. Packed and distributed in US to support US Jobs. |
Health Benefit |
|
Matcha is one of the healthiest forms of green tea, boasting the highest level of antioxidants. During the manufacturing process, the tea leaves (or tencha) are ground into a fine powder to produce matcha; this means that, unlike other teas in which the tea leaf is simply strained, matcha green tea allows the drinker to take in all of the nutrients available—one cup of Matcha tea has the same amount of beneficial antioxidants as ten cups of regular green tea!
Extremely health beneficial and known to prevent cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, high cholesterol levels, cardiovascular disease, and impaired immune function. Matcha contains a high content of powerful anti-oxidant called EGCG. |

Farmland |
|
Located in the pristine, mountainous areas of Uji, Kyoto, and Nara, our organic farmland is well protected from all industrial, nuclear, and urban pollution. Surrounded by trees which block out any remaining pollutants or chemical interference, our farms use no chemicals or pesticides. Our products have passed the rigorous inspections of both the USDA and the JAS (Japanese Agricultural Standards), and have been granted with certifications from both. This is an honor that not many other tea companies can boast. |
How to store? |
| Store in a cool, dry place, away from any products with strong fragrances (spices, detergents, etc) or moisture. A closed-off compartment of your refrigerator (such as the dairy compartment, provided it is unoccupied) is perfect. |

Cleaning the Utensils |
| Chasen: To clean the chasen, fill the chawan with hot water and whisk it for a minute, as if you were whisking green tea. Hold it up at eye level to inspect the bristles for any stray powder, and repeat the process as needed. Shake it off and set it aside to air dry. Chashaku: Wipe the chashaku with a clean, dry cloth; during the tea ceremony, a silk cloth called a fukusa is used. Chawan: Gently hand-wash the chawan with warm water, and dry with a clean cloth. |
