{"product_id":"matcha-superior","title":"Matcha Superior","description":"\u003cp\u003eOur Ceremonial Matcha is simply fantastic! It comes from the Kagoshima region, one of Japan's most famous tea regions. After harvesting, the tea leaves are separated from their stems and veins, so that only the precious leaf flesh remains – the tencha (碾茶). The tencha is then ground gently and, above all, slowly in stone mills. If this happens too quickly, too much heat builds up and the tea loses quality. The result is a vibrant, deep green powder – matcha in its most perfect form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTaste\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatcha Superior has a sensational aroma. Its intense, fresh character won us over instantly. Because the tea plants are shaded before harvesting, it has almost no bitterness and is as soft as a lotus leaf in Japan's rising sun. It's all rounded off by full-bodied umami and a dense, velvety-creamy texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatcha Superior comes from one of Japan's leading tea gardens.
