After harvesting, the leaves are processed into tencha before being finely milled into an exceptionally smooth, vibrant green powder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike infused green tea, matcha is whisked directly into water and consumed in its entirety, creating an intense yet beautifully balanced cup with vegetal sweetness, gentle astringency and a luxuriously creamy mouthfeel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned to be enjoyed traditionally, this ceremonial-grade matcha is particularly suited to preparation with a chawan (matcha bowl) and chasen (bamboo whisk). Its elegant flavour makes it ideal for usucha - the lighter, softly whisked style of matcha most commonly enjoyed in Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePreparation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSift approximately 2 g of matcha into a chawan.
