Ocha & Co. Shizuoka Organic Matcha - Ceremonial Grade - ECO JAS Organic Certified - Japanese First-Harvest Matcha Green Tea Powder, Traditionally

Brand: Ocha & Co.

<b>Premium Japanese Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder</b> <p>Our Japanese Matcha green tea powder is made with young first flush green leaves, quickly steamed to seal in the goodness. The 100% natural, shade-grown leaves are turned into Matcha powder using a traditional grindstone - nothing else is added. Smooth, balanced and without the bitterness of lower quality Matcha, our Matcha green tea is full of flavor and aroma. If you prefer not to drink Matcha straight, smoothies, lattes or frappuccino are great with almond or coconut milk and Matcha powder.<p> <b>Brew the perfect bowl of matcha</b> <p>Why not try drinking Japanese Matcha the traditional way? Boil fresh water in a kettle and allow to cool to around 80°C. Pre-heat your matcha bowl by filling it 1/3 full with hot water. Stand a bamboo whisk (Chasen) in the water for a minute to soften the bristles, then empty and dry the bowl. Add two bamboo scoops (Chashaku) - about 2g - of Matcha green tea powder to the bowl. Pour 60-100ml of hot water into the matcha bowl and whisk for 1-2 minutes until the tea becomes frothy. Drink the matcha tea directly from the bowl.<p> <b>Ocha & Co. Organic Green Tea</b> <p>Our JAS organic tea plantations are found in a hillside region of Japan blessed with clear water, the perfect temperatures, ample natural shade, and mineral-rich soil. Our Japanese teas are prepared in small batches by the Japanese Tea Association’s top certified tea instructor and the winner of Japan’s 56th National Tea Tasting competition.<p>

• What Makes Our Shizuoka Organic Matcha (????) Special? Sourced from the prestigious tea gardens of our farm in Shizuoka, our Ceremonial Grade (Tokuj? ??) matcha is made exclusively from the Gokou cultivar, a rare and highly prized variety known for its deep umami, natural sweetness, and smooth finish. Carefully shade-grown to enhance its rich flavor profile, our green tea leaves (tencha) are traditionally stone-milled, preserving their vibrant color, balanced taste, and delicate aroma.
• Ceremonial Grade (Tokuj? ??): We classify our matcha into three grades, each crafted for a unique experience. Discover our 100% Organic Ceremonial Grade Matcha, ideal for both beginners and green tea enthusiasts. Created by the renowned master Suzuki San, this premium matcha is shade-grown to preserve L-theanine and enhance chlorophyll levels, resulting in a naturally sweeter, umami-rich flavor. It is completely gluten-free and sugar-free, staying true to its pure and authentic origins.
• We Want to Help You Enjoy Matcha: Whether in traditional tea, a latte, or any other way, we believe there is no right or wrong way to enjoy it. Our 100g package yields a total of 50 servings. With 2g of matcha, you can prepare a cup of usucha (light tea) or a creamy matcha latte. Unlike coffee, which causes energy spikes, our matcha is rich in L-theanine, an amino acid that balances caffeine, providing sustained energy, focus, and relaxation.
• Uncompromising Quality: Our matcha is JAS BIO-certified, ensuring it is 100% organic and meets Japan’s strict official standards for quality, purity, and sustainability. Additionally, all our products are shipped weekly in small batches directly from our farms to Amazon’s warehouse. Thanks to this continuous process, our products reach you just days after production, preserving their freshness and properties in our airtight-seal packaging.
• OCHA & CO: We are a traditional Japanese company committed to sharing the authentic Japanese matcha experience with you. Our mission is to offer the highest quality matcha, grown and processed directly at the source.
