Description
Whisked in a bowl using a bamboo whisk until a fine foam appears on the surface, Japanese Matcha green tea is characterised by a velvety and slightly bitter herbal flavour, which offers a surprising and unique sensory experience.
The method for preparing Matcha tea has not chanced since it was first introduced to Japan in the 9th century by monks who had travelled to China, its country of origin. A traditional Matcha whisk is used, made of bamboo and featuring 80 pistils.
Tools: a large bowl, a small strainer, a small bamboo whisk
Preparation: Take a level teaspoon of Matcha, if possible sieve it as you add it to the bowl, then pour over approx. 80ml of water, heated to 80°C, whisk energetically, moving in a "W" shape, until a fine foam appears on the surface
Manufacturing secrets
A precious plucking
Thés de La Pagode® respects an age-old tradition to ensure that all the benefits of tea are preserved. Indeed, the quality and fragrance of a tea are determined, among other things, by the type of leaf picked. In spring, in the gardens of Thés de la Pagode®, the "Imperial Plucking" is practiced: the pluckers select only the bud ("Pekoe" in Mandarin) and the first leaf. Another technique used is "fine picking". In this case, the pickers remove the bud and the first two leaves.
