What are the signs of a good quality matcha? There are five key ways to
determine the highest quality of matcha: Origin: Japan. Method: tea leaves
grown under shade for three weeks before the first flush of spring, leaves are
hand picked, veins are removed, then powdered using traditional granite stone
mills. Color: the 20 days of shade force the plant to overproduce chlorophyll,
which is what makes the tea a vibrant emerald green. Low quality matcha is
pale and yellowish. Texture: matcha is milled using granite stone mills. The
result is a silky texture, with an average particle size of 10 microns (0.01
mm). Taste: the L-theanine produced by an excess of chlorophyll gives the
matcha a sweet taste and aroma of fresh grass. Low quality matcha tends to be
bitter and astringent. What is the difference between Ceremonial Grade and
Fine Culinary Grade? The tea variety or cultivar. Our Fine Culinary Grade is
100% Saemidori, which means “clear green,” has a brilliant green liquor. Taste
is very good due to its low bitterness and lack of astringency. The amino acid
content is the highest of all Japanese cultivars. Our Ceremonial Grade is a
more complex matcha and contains tea leaves from four different cultivars:
Asatsuyu, intense green color and reduced bitterness, Saemidori, Okumidori and
Ya-bukita both have an elegant aroma and a strong umami taste. How is matcha
different from regular green tea? 1 cup of Matcha is equivalent to 10 cups of
high quality green tea in terms of health benefits. This is because you are
imbibing the actual tea leaves instead of just a green tea infusion, as well
as the the high levels of L-theanine produced by the tea when shaded for
twenty days. Organic Matcha Brewing a perfect cup: A great cup of tea requires
three elements: great tea, water and a tea master (you). Use the correct dose:
1/3 of a teaspoon is enough to start with. A larger quantity will make your
matcha bitter. A well prepared cup of matcha is creamy and sweet. Water: add a
little bit of water and whisk until any lumps dissolve (matcha particles are
extremely small). Add more water up to 3 FL OZ and keep whisking making W’s,
not circles, until it is frothy. Using the right water temperature (160ºF to
170ºF) will extract the matcha sweet soluble components such as L-theanine.
Using a higher temperature will bring a high amount of the bitter and
astringent components to your cup such as caffeine and catechins. The
traditional Japanese Matcha bowl, whisk and spoon are desirable but not
mandatory to start. If you enjoy Matcha you can then obtain them. Matcha Green
Tea Powder Matcha health benefits Source of antioxidants: When growing the
leaves that are destined to be ground into matcha, the tea plantation is kept
in shade for two to three weeks before the first flush of spring. This absence
of light multiplies the amount of antioxidants and polyphenols in the tea
leaves. Compared to green tea, matcha contains much more EGCG, a natural
antioxidant that combats free radicals which are the main cause of skin aging
and inflammation associated with oxidative stress. Promotes mental alertness
and calm: used for more than seven hundred years by the Japanese to hone their
focus and stay awake during meditation, matcha contains L-theanine, an amino
acid also found in green tea. L-theanine works in two ways, by helping to
combat tension and stress and by increasing concentration and focus. Stronger
immune system: the combination of vitamins, polyphenols, EGCG, antioxidants,
and L-theanine gives a natural boost to the immune system, helping protect the
body from bacteria and viruses. Weight loss: drinking matcha is a great way of
keeping in shape. The combination of antioxidants and L-theanine boosts the
metabolism and helps to convert fat cells into energy. Matcha can also help in
reduce appetite and increase fat burning during exercise. About Pantenger In
