Christmas Coffret – Matcha Discovery

Discover matcha from its very first form, with two teas from the Nakai family in Wazuka, Kyoto. Tencha, the leaf before it becomes matcha: sweet and mellow like gyokuro, brewed as a leaf tea. With our Premium Matcha in its MUSUBI MATCHA box, ready to open and ready to give.

Every matcha begins as tencha 碾茶: shaded tea leaves, steamed, dried, then stone-milled at only 30–40 g per hour. Side by side, the leaf and the matcha it becomes.

Inside

• Tencha Premium, 30 g: the shaded leaves, steamed and dried, just before they are stone-milled into matcha. Enjoyed as a leaf tea, sweet and mellow, close to a gyokuro. Use 2–3 g of leaves for 100 ml of water at 50–60°C; the same leaves can be steeped 2 to 3 times. Rarely found in Europe, and available this Christmas only in our coffrets.
• Premium Matcha, 30 g, in its MUSUBI MATCHA box: Okumidori cultivar, made for usucha, whisked simply with hot water. Around 90 kg produced each year. The matcha our customers come back for.

Both teas come from the Nakai family in Wazuka, Kyoto: 350+ years of cultivation, JAS-certified organic for more than 40 years. Ranked 1st (ex aequo) among organic matchas on France Inter’s On Va Déguster.
