Description

Terres de Café launches its specialty matcha

Our matcha is a first-harvest ceremonial matcha, a blend of two growers, Saemidori and Yabukita, and comes from the Yame region on the island of Kyushu, more precisely from a family production passed down for eight generations and located at Yame Chuo Tea Garden.

The island of Kyushu, in southern Japan, enjoys ideal climatic conditions, giving its tea a characteristic sweetness. The Saemidori variety, with its sweet, fruity and buttery notes, flourishes particularly well in this region, thanks to the absence of frost in winter.

In the cup, our matcha develops iodized, creamy, fruity notes, a fine astringency and a typically umami finish.

Ceremonial matcha recipe

In a cappuccino cup, weigh out 4g matcha and 40g water at 60°c.

Whisk very vigorously with a bamboo matcha whisk for at least 10 seconds, until an emulsion is created. The final result should be fluffy.

Then add water at 60°c until the desired strength is reached.

Start with 50g more water, and continue adding as required.

Do not re-whisk. Then add water until you reach 90g to 110g.

A little history...

The preparation of matcha in Japan has an important spiritual dimension, rooted in the Zen religion. Like many Japanese arts, it takes years of practice and humility to master the art of preparing a ceremonial matcha.

Without claiming to have mastered these codes inherited from centuries of history and culture, we are nonetheless seduced by the ritual and precision of the preparation. A precision and a real moment of disconnection that we also find in the preparation of coffee.
