Matcha Matsu no sono

Matsu no Sono 松の園 Matcha - An introduction to the world of matcha

“Matsu no Sono” means “Garden of the Pines” – and indeed, this matcha is like a quiet stroll through the shady paths of a Japanese garden. With its light, fresh, slightly sweet taste, it is an ideal introduction to the world of ceremonial matchas.

This powdered green tea comes from the renowned Yoshida tea farm in Kyoto's Uji region , which has been renowned for decades for its precise shading and processing methods. The leaves of the tencha tea are ground using traditional, slow granite mills to a fine powder of 5–10 microns, creating matcha, which is consumed whole, unlike loose teas.

• Tea powder: 1.5–2 g (approx. 2 chashaku)

• Water: 60–90 ml, 75–85°C

• Tip: use a strainer to sift the tea powder to avoid clumping
