First Harvest Matcha? For Matcha Drinkers, Just Over The Top...
Ichibancha is the first harvested tea of the season. This exclusive grade is 100% first flush Tencha that has been ground into very fine particles, transforming from leaves into Ceremonial Matcha..."rubbed" or "ground" tea.
This grade is considered precious and is a delightful exclusive indulgence for those that enjoy whisking Matcha and appreciating excellence in tea... those who want the best matcha.
What makes this the best matcha? The Tencha that this tea is ground from comes from Mie Prefecture, which is a prime source of superior Tencha. It is purchased by Uji and Kyoto and then ground into their premium Ceremonial Matcha...the best matcha.
Used in the The Way of Tea, the Japanese Tea Ceremony, or Cha No Yu, this special Japanese tea is stone-ground into powder, then whisked into the water to produce a thick, delicious, unique beverage topped with emerald foam.
How to prepare the best matcha? Froth Ceremonial Matcha into a "foamy head" then drink directly from the bowl...swirl and sip the Matcha savoring each taste and depositing the foam on your upper lip allowing it to remain and dry there...
After several sips, lick your lips to experience the intense "salty-seaweed" flavor in Japan called Umami...
Our Matcha comes directly from our producer in Japan. We have it air freighted to limit exposure to warm temperatures, then store the tea in refrigeration until we package it for shipment or for the Teashop shelf...we want to keep the best matcha...the best matcha!
Once you try our wonderful Matcha, you will experience the high quality and recognize the differences in Matcha...
