From Japanese organic crops
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.Yabukita is certainly the main plantation variety from which the finest and best Matcha tea is obtained.
NaturaleBio Matcha Tea comes from Yakubita plantations.
Hilly and mountainous areas are ideal for growing an excellent quality of Matcha. Matcha tea is harvested around mid-May, but in the 15-20 days before, Japanese growers protect the plantations from the sun. In ancient times they used straw, but today black curtains are used that have the purpose of protecting the plantation from the sun's rays. This cultivation method preserves all the properties of Matcha tea intact and unaltered. Protecting the tea leaves from the sun means maintaining high levels of chlorophyll and theanine, this process is essential to preserve the beneficial properties of tea.

- 250ml of milk
- 1g of matcha (one teaspoon)
- Sugar (to taste)

Heat the milk (without bringing it to a boil!). Use the chashaku to pour the matcha into a large cup and add sugar. Add a couple of tablespoons of hot water (40ml), whisking thoroughly with the chasen. Once you obtain a creamy, lump-free mixture, pour in the milk.
Note: Alternatively, you can use cold milk and add ice cubes before serving.
