Green Matcha Tea Japan Organic

Japanese Organic Matcha Green Tea - Harvest May 2024

Packages of 50, 100, and 250 gr

The Japanese organic Matcha green tea from Terza Luna is a high-quality Matcha harvested in the Japanese prefecture of Shizuoka. This variety of organic Matcha was harvested in May 2024 and is therefore very fresh, allowing you to taste all its flavors and aromas.

Handcrafted Japanese Matcha Tea

This Matcha is obtained through artisanal processing, which involves shading the tea leaves for 2-3 weeks before harvesting. The leaf processing is delicate and involves steam stabilization. Subsequently, the leaves are ground in stone mills at very low speeds for more than 24 hours.

The result is a high-quality Matcha tea rich in beneficial properties and flavor.

Properties of Matcha Tea

The main properties of Matcha green tea are:

• Antioxidant, as it is very rich in polyphenols, chlorophyll (thanks to the shading of the leaves)
• Tonic, as the caffeine it contains is slowly assimilated by our body, giving us energy, vitality, and concentration
• Metabolism booster thanks to the combination of caffeine/polyphenols

As shown in an April 2016 study, the preparation method of Matcha also affects its beneficial properties: simply consuming the ground tea leaf through an aqueous extract implies high assimilation by our body.

High-Quality Japanese Matcha Tea

The Japanese Matcha tea available online at Terza Luna is classified as "culinary grade." It is therefore a good quality Matcha as it is organic, of Japanese origin, and harvested in 2022. This quality is perfect for those approaching Matcha, for those who want to use it in cooking, and for those who do not want to spend too much.

For the most demanding, we suggest trying the Japanese BIO Premium Quality Matcha Tea, or - for true enthusiasts - the Ceremonial Grade Matcha, the tea used in the Matcha tea ceremony.

How to Prepare Matcha?

Preparing Matcha is not difficult. To recreate a small tea ceremony at home (Cha No you), you just need some basic accessories: take a look at our Matcha Set. You will need:

• A very wide cup (Chawan)
• A Matcha whisk (Chasen)
• Other less essential items are the chashaku (spoon for taking Matcha) and the stand to place the Chasen.

Preparation

1. Prepare water at a maximum temperature of 65°C
2. Pour just two fingers of water into the cup
3. Add the Matcha: just a tip of chasaku is enough
4. Start emulsifying the Matcha with the two fingers of water, eliminating lumps and creating a homogeneous paste
5. Pour the rest of the water
6. Most important and final part: with the Chasen, you must draw an M in the cup by shaking quickly and creating foam. The goal is to emulsify the Matcha evenly in the water and not leave any at the bottom.
