✅ Regions of Japan – Shizuoka Prefecture – A Wealth of Taste and Tradition

✅ Shizuoka Tea: The Pinnacle of Japanese Green Tea

✅ Shizuoka is Japan's true tea capital, accounting for about 40% of the country's production. Located at the foot of Mount Fuji, the region is distinguished by its rich volcanic soil, crystal-clear water, and picturesque plantations. The diversity of climatic conditions, including morning mists and temperature variations, contributes to the unique flavors of teas such as sencha, tencha, and hojicha. The history of tea in Shizuoka dates back to 1241, making it a place of exceptional tradition.

✅ Regions of Japan – Kyoto Prefecture – A Wealth of Taste and Tradition

✅ Uji Tea : The Essence of Kyoto

✅ Uji tea, known as Kyoto tea, comes from the picturesque village of Wazuka. This is where the highest quality matcha and gyokuro are produced. Due to its proximity to Kyoto, the region has often supplied tea to the imperial court since the 13th century. Uji crops are distinguished by their rich umami and velvety texture, making teas from this region a symbol of luxury and prestige.

✅ Premium Ceremonial Matcha – Japanese Green Tea Powder

✅ Used for centuries during traditional tea ceremonies in Japan, this is the highest quality matcha available on the market.

✅ First Harvest Matcha

A variety produced from the first spring harvest (first flush). The leaves are shaded before harvest, which minimizes their exposure to sunlight and increases the chlorophyll content, giving the powder an intense green color.

✅ Delicate Texture and Smooth Taste

Before grinding, the stems and veins are removed, so ceremonial matcha has a delicate texture and naturally sweet taste. It is thicker than other types of matcha, froths beautifully, and offers a smooth flavor profile with a light hint of sweetness, ideal for tea ceremonies.

✅ Ceremonial Consumption

Ceremonial matcha is recommended to be drunk only with water to fully appreciate its authentic, rich taste and exceptional quality. Milk or other additions can still be added, allowing for the creation of delicious drinks such as matcha latte, which are becoming increasingly popular.

✅ Why first harvest (first flush) matcha is the best✅

✅ In winter, tea buds go through a period of hibernation, allowing them to accumulate valuable nutrients before the spring harvest. As a result, first harvest matcha is rich in flavor and intense in effect. Leaves that grow slowly in cool conditions create a full flavor and aroma that true connoisseurs will appreciate.

✅ L-theanine, a key amino acid that gives matcha its characteristic umami taste, is present in much larger quantities in the first harvest, with three times the content of tea from the second harvest. In later harvests, such as the third and fourth, the level of L-theanine is much lower, which results in a less intense taste and nutritional value.

✅ High-quality matcha has an intense, full flavor with minimal bitterness, so it does not require the addition of sugar. To fully enjoy the flavor and health benefits, it is worth choosing first harvest matcha, which is considered truly ceremonial.

✅ How to recognize good matcha✅

✅ Good matcha is recognized mainly by its color. An intense green shade indicates a high chlorophyll content and young leaves growing higher on the bush, where they have more access to light. A yellowish shade suggests older leaves or those from the lower parts of the plant, which affects the lower quality.

✅ At this auction, we offer ceremonial matcha, marked in green in the frame below.

✅ Another important quality indicator of matcha is its texture. The more silky and fine the powder, the higher the quality. This can be easily checked by rubbing the matcha on a white sheet of paper.

✅ The attached photo shows a clear difference between everyday matcha (on the left) and ceremonial matcha (on the right). Ceremonial matcha creates a smooth, intense green, and continuous line, which indicates very fine grinding. Everyday matcha, on the other hand, has a more clumpy texture and a lighter, less saturated color, so the line when rubbed is less distinct and broken.

✅ Both types of matcha in our offer are ground in traditional stone mills, but ceremonial matcha is ground for longer, which results in its higher quality and silky texture.

✅ The presence of bitter notes does not always indicate low matcha quality, because their intensity depends on the region of cultivation and the farming technique. However, matcha with intense bitterness or a fishy aftertaste indicates lower quality and a late harvest.

✅ Classification terms

Terms such as "everyday matcha", "traditional", "premium", or "luxury" were created for marketing purposes and do not reflect the actual quality. The value of matcha depends on the characteristics mentioned above, which are more reliable.

✅ Matcha is not only delicious tea, but also a source of valuable nutrients such as antioxidants and L-theanine, which support concentration, relax, and cleanse the body. ✅
