NISHIO Matcha Tea KIKKOU BEGINNER 30g

An authentic ceremonial grade matcha from Nishio, Japan crafted for your first steps into the world of tea. Perfect for both traditional preparation and daily lattes.

Tasting Profile: Experience a smooth, creamy texture with notes of freshly cut grass, reminiscent of fresh green apple and young peas. A delicate sweetness upfront gives way to a subtle, pleasant tart bitterness that creates a deep, lingering dry umami aftertaste.

Effect: The combination of caffeine and L-theanine gives you clarity of thought and concentration without sudden energy surges.

THE ART OF THE LEAF

Exceptional Quality from the Heart of Nishio

Matcha tea “Beginner” is born in the tea region of Nishio, Aichi Prefecture where tradition and technology intertwine to create the perfect tea for newcomers.

Its flavor is shaped even before the harvest: the bushes are shaded to ensure the leaves retain their tenderness and vibrant green color. Farmers gather only the youngest leaves, which have absorbed all the beneficial nutrients. They are then dried and slowly ground on stone mills to preserve their silky texture and rich taste.

Strict control standards are implemented at every stage of production. In the rooms where the matcha is packaged, the air is filtered 44 times per minute, while humidity and pressure levels are constantly regulated by a computer. Before packaging, the tea is tested in a laboratory, and tea sommeliers check its color, aroma, and flavor balance. Only after this does the matcha make its way to your chawan.
