Ceremonial Grade Matcha is a finely ground Japanese green tea powder with a bright, grassy flavor and a gentle finish, whisked into water rather than steeped. Type: Ceremonial grade matcha, green tea powder Origin: Japanese tea Tasting notes: Bright, grassy, gentle finish Best preparation: Sifted and whisked with hot water Size and price: 1 oz ($23.95) Matcha is powdered green tea, so you whisk it into water instead of steeping leaves. Sift a small amount into a bowl, add hot water, and whisk until evenly blended and lightly frothy.Adjust the amount of powder and water to taste: more powder for a stronger bowl, more water for a softer one. It suits anyone who wants a bright, clean green tea ritual that is a little different from coffee.For a pairing, enjoy it as an afternoon switch from your morning coffee. Our Brazil Santos, with its cocoa notes, is a good counterpoint to matcha's grassy character.
