Wakatake Matcha - Iced Tea or Latte Grade

$48.75
| /

Matcha is a special type of Japanese green tea: a precious, jewel-green powder stone ground from shaded, hand-picked, high-grade Japanese tea leaves. It is traditionally whisked with hot water in a bowl to make a rich, creamy drink.

Our producer, Marukyu-Koyamaen, first began production of tea in the Genroku period (1688–1704) in Ogura, Uji. Through subsequent generations, the quality of the tea increased, thus establishing the venerable tradition of Ujicha; by the eighth generation, the market had been extended to all of Japan. A standard of high quality, consistent from cultivation to the final product, was achieved, and the company—still family-owned—remains highly esteemed. Marukyu-Koyamaen now ranks among the foremost producers of matcha in Japan, and has won many national prizes.

Use this grade for preparing iced matcha: in a cocktail shaker or large jar, add 2-3 g sifted Matcha Wakatake over 4 oz (1/2 cup) ice cubes. Pour in 8 oz (1 cup) cold water, cover, and shake vigorously; strain and serve over ice. Wakatake is also great for baking, smoothies, or blending with milk for lattes.

Absolutely delicious matcha

This makes a wonderful hot or iced matcha latte. So smooth and delicious tasting with a great balance of flavor. It gives me a wonderful upbeat energy. I love making an iced latte with coconut milk with it. The only one I buy now.

The best

The best matcha ever. It tastes smooth without losing that subtle grassy note. It’s perfectly balanced. Other brands lack that special flavor, have additives or taste off. Will keep buying!

Sadly it was not delivered by the usps and I am still trying to get them to locate it. USPS does not do a great job in our area.
