Why Choose Nourish Hub Ceremonial Grade Matcha?
- First Flush Quality: First Flush Matcha refers to the very first harvest of the season, where the youngest and most tender tea leaves are carefully hand-picked. These leaves are prized for their exceptional quality, vibrant green colour, and delicate flavour profile. This meticulous process ensures the highest concentration of nutrients, including antioxidants, chlorophyll, and L-theanine, which are naturally more abundant in these early-harvested leaves.
- Sustainably Grown: Japan is globally recognised as the gold standard of matcha, owing to its centuries-old traditions, meticulous cultivation methods, and dedication to quality. When your matcha is sourced from Japan, you’re assured of its authenticity, premium quality, and adherence to time-honoured practices that elevate the final product. Japanese matcha production is guided by strict quality standards, with a focus on sustainability, organic cultivation, and pesticide-free farming. This ensures a pure and health-conscious product.
- Enhanced Flavour & Nutrition: In Japan, tea plants are carefully shaded for weeks before harvest, which enhances the production of chlorophyll and L-theanine, resulting in the bright green colour and naturally sweet, umami-rich flavour associated with ceremonial matcha. This matcha is shade-grown for 20 days, maximizing chlorophyll, L-theanine, and antioxidants.
- Artisan Craftsmanship: Their farmers use centuries-old techniques to stone-mill matcha into a fine, silky powder. This precise process preserves the nutrients, aroma, and taste while ensuring a consistent, smooth texture.
For a truly luxurious experience, pair your matcha with their Chasen Bamboo Whisk and Scoop, to create the perfect frothy and aerated cup.
