GRAFFITEA - MATCHA Tea Organic - 50 gr

Preparation: Unlike other teas where the leaves are steeped in hot water and then removed, Matcha powder is mixed directly into hot water using a bamboo whisk called a "chasen." This creates a frothy and smooth beverage, often appreciated for its velvety texture and flavor. (In a bowl: add about 2g (1 teaspoon, leveled) of powder, pour in water at 80°C, and whisk.) It can be enjoyed hot or iced.

Traditional Use: Matcha is traditionally used in the Japanese tea ceremony, where it is prepared and served according to precise rituals. This ceremony emphasizes meditation, peace, and tranquility, with Matcha playing a central role.

Flavor: Matcha tea has a rich, earthy flavor with a slight bitterness. It is often described as having a distinctive umami taste.

Culinary Uses: In addition to being consumed as a beverage, Matcha is also widely used in cooking to add flavor and color. It can be found in a variety of dishes, from desserts like ice creams and pastries to savory items like sauces and marinades.
