Organic Premium Matcha South Korea

Description

Organic Korean Matcha

This organic premium quality matcha is produced under the expert guidance of the only Matcha Food Master certified by the Korean Ministry of Agriculture. From cultivation to milling, every step remains in the hands of a single family, ensuring exceptional quality and authenticity.

Before being ground on traditional stone mills, the tea plants undergo a meticulous organic cultivation and shading process which results in the leaves developing into elongated, oval-shaped leaves with a lush green colour and delicate texture.

Comparable in quality to Japanese ceremonial matcha, only the finest leaves are carefully selected for this matcha, resulting in an outstanding flavour profile. The powder has a vibrant green hue, while the flavour is naturally sweet, smooth, and well-balanced.

An excellent choice for enjoying pure, this premium Organic Korean Matcha whisks into a rich foam with a velvety-smooth texture, making it perfect for traditional matcha or for the preparation of extra special matcha lattes.

To prepare “thin” Matcha (Usucha) in a Matcha Bowl (Chawan): 

• Put 1.5 – 2g (2 matcha scoops) into your matcha bowl. If necessary, sieve the matcha into the bowl to remove lumps.
• Add ca. 80 ml of water that has been heated to 60 – 70℃.
• Whisk using your matcha brush until small bubbles appear – your Usucha will have the consistency of a strong espresso with a nice foam on top.

To prepare “thick” Matcha (Koicha) in a Matcha Bowl (Chawan): 

• Put 3.5 – 5g (3 heaped matcha scoops) into your matcha bowl. If necessary, sieve the matcha into the bowl to remove lumps.
• Add ca. 20 – 40 ml of water that has been heated to 60 – 70℃.
• Stir the matcha into the water using your matcha brush until it has the consistency of thick, melted chocolate.

Because Matcha in such a highly concentrated form as Koicha takes some getting used to and only real premium qualities reveal their sweet and complex character when prepared this way, we recommend that only the highest-quality teas be prepared as Koicha. Having said that, how you like your tea is down to your individual taste. Although we wouldn’t recommend trying more basic Matcha teas as Koicha, we would recommend preparing the premium quality teas both as Usucha and Koicha to see which style of Matcha you prefer.
