Organic Matcha "Kaoru"

Green Tea by O-Cha.com

From O-Cha…

“Kaoru means “fragrant” in Japanese. We currently carry three grades of organic matcha, and although this is the middle ranked of the three, the quality is superb. From Shimoyama, located in Japan’s Aichi prefecture, this tea is grown at an elevation of 640-660 meters. Grown with only natural organic fertilizers and no agricultural chemicals, it is certified by JONA (Japan Organic & Natural Foods Association), meets JAS certification requirements, and also carries the USDA & European IMO seals (certificates on file.) Extremely fresh, our matcha are ordered shortly before shipped to our customers and are always stored under refrigeration. Try some today! Net weight 30gm, this product makes approximately 24 servings per can."

Pretty fantastic. The brightest green i’ve ever seen. I just wish good matcha wasn’t so expensive. I would drink it much more often.

Just opened this and a wondeful haze of fine matcha dust left the can as I did so! Started it off at 2 chashaku of matcha, 80ml Water, 75 Degrees C… Immediatly I could tell this was the highest quality matcha I have had to date, it sifted and whisked very easily. In terms of flavour it had a touch more bitterness than the Kiri-No-Mori, so next time I will knock the water temperature down a little (perhaps to about 65). Overall though very tasty!

Spot on as usual!

Logging this one for last night really. This time I used water at 68 Degrees C and it was just about perfect! Beautiful sweetness with just a hint of bitterness. Seems to be a lot fussier about temperature than the Kiri-no-Mori
