N&S Tea Merchants’ ceremonial-grade matcha is crafted from the finest green tea leaves sourced from the illustrious Uji region in Kyoto, Japan. Known as the birthplace of Japanese tea cultivation, Uji has a rich history dating back over 800 years. This region's unique climate, misty conditions, and fertile soil create the perfect environment for producing the highest quality matcha.
The Legacy of Uji
Uji is renowned worldwide for its tea production, particularly matcha. The region's tea cultivation practices have been refined over centuries, combining traditional methods with modern innovation. The shaded growth technique, perfected in Uji, ensures that the tea leaves develop higher levels of beneficial nutrients. This process not only enhances the flavour profile but also boosts the health benefits of the matcha.
Why Uji Matcha Stands Out
- Rich Nutrient Profile: Grown under shade for the final few weeks prior to harvesting, our Uji matcha leaves are packed with L-theanine, a rare amino acid that promotes relaxation without drowsiness, and antioxidants that bolster immunity.
- Superior Taste: The shading process also imparts a smooth, sweet character to the matcha with very little bitterness, making it a delightful experience for the palate.
- Traditional Excellence: Uji’s historical significance and dedication to quality make its matcha unparalleled in the world of green tea.
Experience the Silky Quality
To demonstrate the unmatched quality of our matcha, we include a matcha press (where you put matcha down on paper and slide your finger across), showcasing its smooth, silky texture. This visual proof underscores the fineness of the powder, which is essential for the perfect matcha experience. The fine texture ensures that the matcha is suspended completely in the warm water, creating a creamy and rich consistency.
Health Benefits
- L-theanine: Enhances mental clarity and focus.
- Antioxidants: Support overall health and strengthen the immune system.
- Calm Energy: Provides a gentle caffeine boost without the jitters.
How to Enjoy
For the best experience, whisk 1-2 grams of matcha with hot water (not boiling) using a traditional bamboo whisk until frothy. Enjoy as a soothing tea, or incorporate it into your favourite smoothies and recipes for a healthful boost.
