Matcha 30g (Japanese Supreme Organic Green Tea Powder), Kogacha

Japanese tea is not only delicious, but also healthy and one of the most widely consumed beverages in Japan. Japanese green tea in particular is becoming increasingly popular worldwide; today, it is a vibrant part of Japanese culture and plays a significant role in everyday Japanese life.

Green tea is also the central element of the tea ceremony, for which Matcha is the preferred choice. Only the highest quality leaves are used for Matcha; these are dried and ground into a fine powder, which is then mixed with hot water.

Kogacha’s Supreme Organic Matcha has been cultivated in the Kirishima region (Japan) for more than 20 years – long before industrial tea cultivation had discovered the concept of organic farming.

“Nature should decide what is good for our health.”

Every morning, the tea farmers of Kirishima carefully examine the condition of the soil, check the weather and temperature, the humidity, the colour and the smell of the tea leaves and finally decide how the leaves will be tended for the day. Kirishima Matcha tea is a purely organic tea that grows naturally and is popular with people who are particularly health-conscious.

Here’s what you can make with it:

The finely ground powder of this Matcha has the great advantage that, simply by stirring it into hot water , important nutrients such as catechins, saponins and vitamins can be absorbed, which are naturally contained in the tea leaves. This very Matcha is the only authentic Matcha tea in Japan, offering the profound, unmistakable flavour of a fine, premium Matcha.

‘The Supreme variety is described by a large number of Japanese tea instructors as the best organic Matcha in Japan.’

It derives its distinctive aroma from the unique location of the volcanic highlands of ‘Kirishima’ and from the natural dosage of sunlight resulting from the fog layers typical of the region.

Kogacha Supreme Organic Matcha from Kirishima is used not only in the Japanese tea ceremony but also for culinary experiments by Michelin-starred chefs in top-class restaurants, and is becoming increasingly popular in Tokyo.
