![]() Wako - "Peaceful Light" THIN TEA (USUCHA) We are proud to present two special matchas grown outside the old imperial capital of Kyoto in Uji - long famous for its superior tea. Shading bushes for matcha production is believed to have begun here and Uji tea continues to be the most sought-after for connoisseurship and ceremonial use. After 3 weeks undercover the leaves are picked, steamed & dried before being sorted & cut, leaving only the soft leaf tissue which is then stone-ground. |

![]() Unkaku - "Cloud & Crane " THICK TEA (KOICHA) All matcha may be prepared as thin tea using 1-2 tsp. of tea per cup of water. The highest grades, however, may also be prepared as koicha ("thick tea") as shown above. Whisking 6-8 tsp. of matcha in a cup of water produces the ultimate bowl of green tea: the texture is thick and smooth, the color is intense and the flavor is truly unforgettable. Add a little ceremony to your next tea gathering. (For best results, sifting the tea in advance is recommended.) |
