Hamasa Shoten Matcha Green Tea Powder 30g

Matcha (抹茶) is a finely ground powder of specially grown and processed green tea leaves, originating from Japan. This matcha from Hamasa Shoten has a rich, complex flavour profile with vegetal notes, a natural sweetness, and a hint of umami, finishing with a smooth, creamy texture. It is traditionally used in Japanese tea ceremonies but is also versatile enough for modern culinary uses, such as making matcha lattes, smoothies, or flavouring baked goods like cakes and cookies. To prepare a traditional cup, whisk a small amount of the powder with hot, but not boiling, water until it becomes frothy. This high-quality matcha is ideal for those looking to explore authentic Japanese tea culture or add a unique flavour to their kitchen creations. It is a staple in Japanese households for both drinking and cooking.
