Kokeno-shiro 100g bag , Premium Ceremonial Grade Matcha Yamamasa Koyamaen

In the tea ceremony, there are two ways to make green tea: light and dark. The dark tea tea ceremony is said to be of higher class, and the Matcha is needed together into a paste. Light tea is more casual, and a foam is created with the matcha, using a bamboo whisk. The dark tea ceremony gives a higher concentration green tea, and therefore, the quality of the matcha is more evident. All matcha can be brewed as a light tea.Dark tea involves needing the tea into a concentrated paste, so it is not suited for average grade tea with strong bitterness and astringency. To summarize, high grade matcha can be used for both dark and light tea, but intermediate grades and lower are only suitable for light tea. Light tea brewed with high grade matcha has a lot of natural umami and a round aroma, and is the best quality tea.Yamamasa Koyamaen is an established tea producer that has continued to make fine quality matcha using traditional production methods.
