What is the difference between Premium Grade, Culinary Grade, and Ceremonial Grade?
The Culinary (lower quality) grade is used in recipes and as an ingredient in cooking, Matcha Premium is of lower quality than Ceremonial, but is still an excellent alternative to Ceremonial Matcha and is ideal for adding to milk, yogurt, smoothies or in cooking. Finally, the Ceremonial grade, which is the highest quality, is intended to be brewed traditionally as a drinking tea and is sourced from finely stone-ground, first-crop leaves.
Preparation of Traditional Matcha Tea
Cha no yu (meaning, “hot water for tea”) known as the tea ceremony, is a social and spiritual ritual in Japan.It is recommended to use ceremonial-grade Matcha green tea, which is the most valuable grade.
The way matcha tea is prepared is by suspension, so all its organoleptic properties are preserved.
The very fine, deep green powder is dissolved directly in hot water with the help of a chasen (a bamboo whisk) that is ideal for stirring this type of tea without forming lumps and making it very creamy.
- 80 ml of water at a temperature between 60° and 75 (not boiling temperature)
- 1 serving (1g) of Matcha
NB: Shake quickly using a traditional Matcha Wisk or a standard kitchen whisk. You will need to alternate between “M” and “W” movements, always staying on the surface with the whisk, this way it will be thicker and frothier.
Sourced from Japanese organic farming
The quality of Matcha green tea varies and also depends on the type of plantation used for cultivation. The main plantation varieties are: Yabukita, Okumidori, Samudori, and Asahi.
Definitely Yabukita is the main plantation variety from which the finest and best Matcha tea is made.
Matcha Tea from NaturaleBio, comes from Yakubita plantations.
Hilly and mountainous areas are ideal for growing a high quality of Matcha. Matcha tea is harvested in mid-May, but in the 15-20 days before, Japanese growers shelter the plantations from the sun. In ancient times they used straw, but today black tents are used to protect the plantation from the sun's rays.
This method of cultivation preserves all the properties of Matcha tea intact and unchanged.
Keeping the tea leaves protected from the sun means keeping chlorophyll and theanine levels high; this process is critical to preserving the tea's beneficial properties.
Stone ground
The Japanese Tea Master tests and tastes Tencha from different types of plantations and plant varieties, selecting the best qualities that will then be ground strictly by stone.
This grinding tool consists of a large funnel where the Tencha is placed, at the base of which are two stone blocks that at low speed go to grind the Tencha finely turning it into Matcha.
The low speed of the stones ensures that the temperatures remain low and controlled to preserve the organoleptic properties.1 hour wheel grinds only 30 grams.
