Ceremonial Matcha Powder

• Ceremonial grade: The highest grade of matcha, made for whisking and drinking straight, not the harsher culinary grade used for baking.
• Shade-grown in Kyoto: Grown in the traditional way in Japan's most respected matcha region, which is what gives it the deep colour and smooth, umami flavour.
• Stone-ground and vibrant: Milled slowly to a silky powder with the bright green colour that signals quality and freshness.
• Naturally smooth and sweet: A clean, mellow taste with none of the bitterness or grassiness of cheaper matcha, so it needs nothing added.
• As versatile as your morning: Whisked straight for the traditional ritual, or blended into a latte with your milk of choice.

Sift a teaspoon into a bowl. Add hot water, just off the boil at around 70 to 80°C, not boiling, which is what scorches cheaper matcha. Whisk briskly in a zigzag until a fine froth forms, then drink straight away. Or blend it into warm milk for a latte. The whisking is the point as much as the drink. A small, deliberate pause before the day begins.
