Bio Matcha Silk Mikoto: a fine, tart masterpiece from Japan
Organic Matcha Silk Mikoto from the traditional prefecture of Kagoshima is a tea that has the potential to turn everyday life into a celebration. Kagoshima, located on the southernmost island of Japan, Kyushu, is famous for its exquisite teas, and our Matcha Silk Mikoto is in no way inferior to this reputation. Mikoto, which means "prince" in Japanese, is an apt name for such a royal tea.
The characterful matcha is made exclusively from the most delicate tea leaves from the second harvest in early summer. This harvest produces a fine, tart, creamy aroma that is complemented by a subtle hint of umami. In order to preserve the radiance of the emerald color and the rich ingredients, the tea leaves are carefully covered in the last few days before harvesting. This protected cultivation allows the tea to develop a high level of antioxidants, polyphenols, catechins and amino acids, which not only give it its taste, but also its health benefits.
The tea bushes of the Asatsuyu, Asanoka, Kanayamidori, Okuyutaka and Okumidori varieties, from which matcha is made, are a guarantee for maximum enjoyment. Only granite stone mills are used in the production of this fine matcha to ensure a particularly fine grind. This contributes significantly to the velvety texture that makes the organic Matcha Silk Mikoto unmistakable.
Available in various packs from 20 to 100 grams, the matcha offers the right amount for a wide range of preferences. A dose of just 1-2 grams is enough to bring 300ml of the tea to life in deep concentration. Enjoy this tea at a maximum temperature of 80 degrees Celsius to release the full bouquet of flavors.
Whether as a companion during busy days or as a sensual experience in quiet moments - the organic Matcha Silk Mikoto is a bridge to the delicacies of Japan, created from centuries-old tradition and the skills of experienced tea masters.
