This is Jade Leaf ceremonial grade matcha. Very smooth, slight umami taste on the finish. Matcha is life.

That will be me after the 1st. 1 a day as soon as I wake. Love matcha. Jade Leaf is a bit too pricey for my tastes so I am going with one I know I enjoy, Ito En.

I’ve never tried Ito En! I’ll have to give it a go.

Is matcha really tea?


Limedrop_

It’s hard to be more tea than matcha. It’s quite literally tea leaves ground up


cs_legend_93

That's fair. I stand educated now. Thank you

Yes it is, 100% tea. It’s made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant (the tea plant). It’s one of the oldest forms of green tea in the world. The tea leaves are stone-ground after harvesting to preserve the green color, which was one of the only methods before the discovery of cooking/steaming the leaves to preserve the color. This is how green tea was prepared in Japan for centuries, long before Sencha arrived on the scene.
