Matcha

Matcha is a finely powdered green tea made from the leaves of shade-grown tea plants. Because of its association with the Japanese tea ceremony, matcha has acquired an image of high culture and philosophical profundity. However, it is also commonly used as a flavoring, being added to ice creams, lattes and wagashi sweets. Matcha flavors vary between the three poles of bitter, sweet, and savory, but typically it has a mellow umami flavor, a strong aroma, and is vivid green in color. These teas have a smooth, rich, satisfying flavor and are perfect either whisked up with hot water or served in a sweet latte.

Sencha

Sencha is Japan’s most popular tea. Made from leaves rather than powder, it is greenish-gold in color with a sunny, energizing flavor and a bright aroma of cut grass. Its refreshing aroma and even balance of sweet, savory and astringent flavors makes it very easy to drink.
