Matcha
Japanese matcha tea is not like other teas, it differs in that the tea leaves are ground into a fine-grained powder. The leaves are not strained either, instead the matcha powder is whisked into a frothy, chlorophyll green drink. The flavour is almost overwhelmingly full-bodied, rich in umami and algal notes, very different from other types of tea. The tea leaves ground into matcha powder are called 'Tencha' and are protected from the sun in the last weeks before harvesting, which enhances the flavour as well as the levels of chlorophyll and other nutrients. When drinking the tea leaves themselves, the body also absorbs a wide range of nutrients that are otherwise filtered out by the tea leaves - vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll, antioxidants, theanine and caffeine. In Japan, matcha is the most exclusive tea, the star of the mythical tea ceremony dating back to the 16th century. As well as being enjoyed whipped by tea masters, matcha tea is ideal for flavouring and decorating pastries, desserts and dishes. Mix it into dough, pannacotta, sprinkle it over vanilla ice cream or steamed halibut, the sky's the limit. You might think that making matcha is incredibly complicated if you follow the complex ritual of the tea ceremony - but it's actually easy to get started with a simple whisk and a deep bowl. At the same time, it's just as easy to be seduced by the aesthetics and craftsmanship of handmade bamboo whisks and beautifully razor-burnt matcha bowls.
