Matcha is a truly unique tea experience, offering a powerful and exquisite taste. The green tea leaves (tencha), which are packed with polyphenols, are ground into a fine powder, allowing you to consume all the goodness contained in the leaf. This delivers a healthy dose of L-theanine, renowned for its stress reducing properties amongst other health-benefits.
At Whittard, we source our Matcha from the mountainous area of Makinozo in the Southern Japanese seaside city of Kagoshima. Grown in this volcanic, subtropical landscape the tencha thrives in mineral-rich, fertile soil near Kirishima volcano. Our organic, ceremonial-grade Matcha offers an aromatic, natural and delicate flavour with a soft, nutty sweetness that lingers afters after drinking.
The artistry of the Japanese tea ceremony is reflected in the preparation of Matcha, with the name itself translating as 'ma' for powder and 'cha' for tea. Traditionally Matcha preparation includes the use of a bamboo spoon (Chasaku) to measure out the powder, placing it in a bowl where it is mixed with hot water and then whisked vigorously using a bamboo whisk until frothy. The Matcha is then served - and sometimes drank - from the bowl.
Brew a Matcha and enjoy the power of the green leaves and the artistry of the Japanese tea ceremony.
