Bernal Cutlery House Tomo-Gaki Uji Matcha - 30g

We have been fortunate to have the highest quality matcha from Uji for many years, but the world wide surge in demand has depleted the supply. What we have gotten in this final shipment is it. 

While others may claim to have “ceremonial grade” matcha, that is a term that is not actually used in Japan–it only means it is balanced enough to be had straight without any sugar or milk. 

Our matcha is better than that, and has the perfect balance of umami, sweetness and nigami (bitterness). It truly is better than the rest. 

The perfect blend of umami along with subtle nigami (earthy bitterness) balances out the different notes. 

Directions:

To prepare take a matcha bowl and pour some hot water in it, swirl it around, and discard the water.

Take 2g of the matcha powder, (you may sift here to minimize clumps) and gently pour a little bit of water to initially whisk out clumps. Then add  70ml of hot water (about 180 degrees). Take a matcha whisk and whisk vigorously back and forth (not circular motion) for about 30 seconds until you start producing nice oxidization and foam. 

Refrigerate after opening.
