Steenbergs Organic Matcha

Organic Matcha Tea is grown in the Nishio region in Japan, the traditional heartland of matcha tea. Matcha Tea has been a traditional drink for Japanese Zen Buddhist monks and the Japanese Imperial Family for hundreds of years. Steenbergs matcha is a lower ceremonial grade matcha.

Matcha is highly regarded for its health properties due to its relatively high levels of antioxidants, minerals, vitamins and nutrients. Each tin comes with a screw top lid and a keep fresh pull (can style) inner lid.

Tea brewing: Preheat the matcha bowl with hot water and place the whisk with prongs facing down into the water to wet them. Set the wet whisk aside and measure out 70ml of hot water into a measuring cup and leave to cool. Measure about 1 teaspoon of matcha tea powder and place it into the bowl. Once the water drops to 70 – 80C, pour into the matcha bowl. Using the whisk, whisk in a zig-zag motion until the matcha has a thick froth with many tiny bubbles on the surface.

Tasting notes: Bright green, muddy texture. Bitter and refreshing, long tasting.
