MARUKYU KOYAMAEN'S Suisen Matcha Tasting Notes:bright • grassy • bitter greens This culinary grade Japanese green tea powder is bright and grassy with a pleasant astringency that shines through a variety of sweeteners and dairy products. Great for lattes, baked goods and ice cream production, this Matcha is versatile and great for everyday use.We source our matcha from Marukyu Koyamaen, a highly regarded tea grower, procurer, and tea blender whose private tea estate, located in the heart of Uji, Kyoto, has a rich history dating back to 1704. Koyamaen has strict quality control systems in place that target a wide variety of issues that can affect the quality, taste, and characteristics of their tea: Teas are kept fresh using a unique drying system that reduces moisture in the leaf to an incredibly low level which is verified by an infrared optical moisture meter. Since a vibrant color is essential to the matcha experience, a colorimeter is utilized to ensure that the matcha has a naturally vibrant hue. Finally, the particle size of the matcha is strictly controlled which ensures each particle is fine enough to deliver an easy-to-blend, smooth-tasting beverage. Ingredients: Camellia sinensis leaves.
