Matcha Kaze is used in the official tea ceremony for making thin tea (Usucha). It is also excellent for everyday matcha drinking. This matcha is milled from a blend of 1st pluck spring tea leaves to give it a light, creamy, mild flavor with just a flirtation of astringency. One taste is all it takes to make a believer out of matcha lovers looking for a non-astringent matcha. Our Matcha Kaze is true matcha, which means that it is milled from shade-grown leaf that is manufactured into tencha, the de-veined leaf that is ground in a stone mill to yield finely-powdered matcha.
