The excellence of this matcha comes from its very round and complete taste with a balance of creaminess, a full body and a fine silky note of fresh spinach and a hint of asparagus. The resulting tea produces a very well-rounded taste with no bitterness. Because of its supreme quality, this matcha is also used for koicha, a thick paste made from only the highest grade matcha.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e🍃 JAS Organic Green Tea\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e🍃 Calming, Relaxing Theanine\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e🍃 Higher Caffeine Content\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e🍃 Long Lasting Energy Throughout the Day\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e🍃 Naturally Gluten Free and Vegan\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e🍃 Complex Flavor Profiles\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat it Tastes Like\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e🍵 Smooth, Creamy Flavor\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e🍵 Light Floral Notes\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e🍵 Well-Balanced\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e🍵 Round Finish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow Much Tea Does it Make?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tin \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003econtains\u003c\/span\u003e 40 grams of powdered tea, enough to make 40 cups of matcha\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeet the Farmer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tea comes to us from Mr. Nakai in Wazuka.

This also creates a sweeter and more savory flavor in the tea. The soil on the farm of Mr. Sakamoto is incredibly soft, due to the diversity of flora and fauna on the field which loosens up the soil. This soft soil allows the roots to penetrate deeper into the ground and absorb more nutrients.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Brew the Gyokuro Karigane Sakamoto Green Tea\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdd 5 grams of leaves to the teapot or strainer and then pour in 150ml to 200ml of water (140 degrees Fahrenheit) and let the tea brew for 1 minute.

One of the positives about these organic tea fields is that they are not only great for growing tea plants, they can also support a diverse array of flora and fauna. Because these other plants were able to grow around the tea field, larger animals such as Serow and wild pigs are able to feel at home in this habitat.

In China, green tea leaves would be pressed into a brick so that they could be carried over long distances. As the climate changed from warm Southern China to the mountainous regions of Tibet, the tea began to naturally ferment. The microbes in the leaf and in the air transformed the tea leaves, rendering the flavor smoother and fruitier. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the flavor of these naturally fermented teas became so popular, producers began experimenting with different production methods to make the tea taste better. They began trying different methods of pan firing, solar withering and gradual aging. The most famous of the post fermented teas is puerh. Similar to champagne, a post fermented tea is \u003cstrong\u003eonly called puerh if it is produced\u003c\/strong\u003e around the region or puerh \u003cstrong\u003ein Yunnan\u003c\/strong\u003e. This is of course the most famous region for post fermented tea production,\u003cstrong\u003e but post fermented teas can also be produced in Japan\u003c\/strong\u003e. Let’s talk about the Japanese post fermented tea known as Nadeshiko. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Nadeshiko Tea\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNadeshiko Tea is a Japanese \u003cstrong\u003efermented tea made using koji\u003c\/strong\u003e, the same microbes used to make sake, soy sauce and miso. This is the most common culture to use for fermentation in Japanese food, so it’s no surprise that it is the key ingredient in Japanese fermented tea as well. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003eHarvesting of Nadeshiko\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003eThe tea leaves are collected from the first or second harvest and then they are steamed, rolled and dried. Once the leaves are processed, they are gathered together into a room to begin the fermentation process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003eThe fermentation of Nadeshiko\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003eAfter the leaves have been gathered, moisture is applied on top of the leaves before they are sterilized. Then the koji is applied to the leaves to activate the fermentation. Unlike puerh tea for example, this is done in a controlled, sterilized environment to make sure the koji is the only microbe fermenting the tea leaves. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Rosé of tea\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf puerh is the champagne of the post fermented tea world, Nadeshiko is the rosé. This tea is also known as “pink tea” because of its very unique color. The flavor is sweet and flowery, and it is slightly lighter compared to a rich puerh tea. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou may notice some tasting notes with a puerh tea. This earthy or tree bark like flavor is present in the finish. Overall, it is a bit more flowery and sweet, and shares some aspects with a hojicha. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBenefits of Nadeshiko tea\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNadeshiko has similarities to a Japanese black tea or Wakoucha, but also Chinese puerh tea. The notable difference is that it has a higher concentration of catechins, citric acid and gallic acid. These compounds are developed thanks to the strictly controlled fermentation process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimilar to other fermented foods, fermented Japanese tea like Nadeshiko is thought to help support a healthy diet and metabolism. Research conducted at Shizuoka University by a team of researchers discovered that there are two new types of polyphenols found inside this tea that could have some key health benefits. These polyphenols are thought to suppress the enzymes responsible for adult diabetes. They are also thought to decrease the levels of visceral fat, neutral fat and cholesterol. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the unique microbial fermentation process, the catechins found within the tea leaf are degraded and turned into teadenol A and teadenol B. Teadenol A has been shown to suppress appetite and increase insulin secretion. Fermented Japanese green teas are also thought to reduce the risk of atherosclerosis. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMade in Uji\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Nadeshiko comes to us from the talented farmers at \u003cstrong\u003eChanoka in Uji\u003c\/strong\u003e.

The soil is great quality, the air is clean and misty, the terrain is hilly and the winters are relatively mild with no frost. This climate has produced excellent teas for hundreds of years. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory of Uji Tea\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUji has been a hot bed for tea cultivation since the 1300s. When the tea plant was first cultivated in Japan in 1191, it was mostly grown in the Toganoo mountains. Toganoo was known for producing the best tea on the island, but they would soon be challenged by their counterparts to the south. The original monk Eisai who brought the tea seeds to Japan from China, shared some of the seeds with his friend Myoe Shonin in Uji. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy 1383, Uji was known for producing the second best tea in Japan. In 1460, the Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimasa proclaimed that Uji tea was his favorite type, which began the unofficial reign of Uji as the top tea producing region in Japan.
