Buy matcha tea: discover Japanese matcha
Matcha is a distinctive Japanese green tea with an intense green colour, a full flavour and characteristic umami. For its production, the tea plants are shaded for a certain period before harvesting. After harvesting, the leaves are processed into tencha, from which the finest leaf parts are then ground into matcha powder.
At Mingtea, you can buy carefully selected Japanese matcha tea for different preparation methods, from a traditional bowl of matcha to matcha latte and iced matcha.
What makes matcha tea special?
- The entire tea leaf: matcha is not steeped like regular tea. The fine matcha powder is whisked with water and consumed in its entirety.
- Characteristic flavour: good matcha combines fresh, vegetal notes with full umami and a gentle bitterness.
- Different uses: depending on the matcha, you can prepare it traditionally with water or use it for, for example, matcha latte and iced matcha.
Japanese matcha powder for matcha and matcha latte
Not every matcha is intended for the same preparation. Some matcha is best enjoyed when the powder is traditionally whisked with water, while other varieties are ideal for a creamy matcha latte or cold preparations. For each matcha, you will find information about its flavour profile and recommended preparation method.
How do you prepare matcha tea?
For traditional preparation, the matcha powder is first sifted and then whisked with warm water using a bamboo matcha whisk, or chasen, until a fine layer of foam forms. The right amount of matcha and water temperature help bring out its flavour.
