Matcha Silk Basic, organic

An organic matcha from Kagoshima for lattes, usucha, and cooking

Matcha Silk Basic, organic focuses on a direct, green profile: bitter, grassy, and clear in the cup. It is suitable when you are looking for matcha for matcha lattes, usucha, or recipes without the tea feeling too complicated.

In a matcha latte, it brings its green side into a softer drink; as usucha, it presents itself pure and prominent. It can also be well used for cooking, baked goods, mixed drinks, and DIY cosmetics.

The tea comes from Kagoshima, an important tea region in southern Japan, and from the first spring harvest (Ichibancha). For this matcha, leaves that were shaded directly on the plant for 20 to 30 days were processed: Jikase-kaen.

The blend combines Okumidori, Yabukita, Okuyutaka, Kanayamidori, Asanoka, and Asatsuyu. The medium steaming level Chumushi brings calmness to the processing without making the tea feel heavy; it is ground with Ishiusu, the granite stone mill. Organic certified according to DE-ÖKO-007.
