Ocha & Co. Japanese Tea - Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder - Traditional Stone Milled Japanese Matcha, 100g/3.5oz.

A blend of first flush green leaves from Yakubita & Okumidori cultivars are picked young, then quickly steamed to seal in the goodness. The 100% natural, shade-grown leaves are then turned into Match powder using a traditional grindstone - nothing else is added. Smooth, balanced and without the bitterness of lower quality Matcha. If you prefer not to drink Matcha straight; smoothies, lattes or frappuccino are great with almond or coconut milk. We are presently hooked on lattes made with a touch of white chocolate syrup. Great feedback from satisfied customers who are pleased with the reasonable cost for a Matcha of this quality.

Small batches are shipped from the tea farm weekly to ensure long shelf-life. Teas from Ocha & Co. were selected to represent Japan at the 2015 Speciality & Fine Food Fair at Olympia in London. A Sencha from the plantation also won first prize in the 46th Japanese Ministry of Agriculture tea competition which is Japan`s top prize for tea blenders.

The Ocha & Co range is made up of the following high grade teas: Sencha, Fukamushi (deep-steamed sencha), Kabusecha (shade-grown), Reicha (asamushi & fukamushi blend for cold-brewing), Gyokuro (shade-grown) Kukicha (stems and twigs), Black Tea, Shincha (in season) and Matcha. The teas have been selected to strike a balance between quality and affordability. Some teas are now available for Amazon FBA fulfilment but if not, are shipped Airmail the same day and only take between 7-10 days to arrive from Japan.
