This matcha is sweet and creamy with only a bit of bitterness and some refreshing astringency. The matcha is fragrant and has a rich umami aftertaste. Product Details Ingredients: Green tea. Region: Shizuoka, Kagoshima, Shiga. Harvest: Spring Cultiver: Mainly Okumidori. Packaging: Silver plastic bag inside Gift can. Multipacks contain unlabeled individual bags. Storage: We recommend storing one 30-gram bag at room temperature for daily use in the screw top can or resealable bag, and the remaining in your freezer for long-term storage if you buy more than one at once. NOTE: For freezer storage, double-seal in a plastic ziplock bag and tupperware container for maximum freshness and to avoid other food smells from affecting the matcha. Always allow the bag to sit for 24-hours before unsealing to acclimate to room temperature. This avoids condensation from damaging the matcha powder. How much does 30 grams of matcha make? It depends on how thick you make your matcha and how much you make, but if you use 1 gram (about 1/3 teaspoon) to make a 50 ml cup, that's 15 cups of matcha!
