An exclusive Japanese green tea!
Our Matcha Premium has similar origins to the Matcha 110 i.e. high grade, shade-grown tea, after steaming the matcha leaf is comprehensively stone ground to a light and fine green powder with a traditional stone mortar and pestle, called a Hikiusu.
The difference is that the Premium is of the second pick of the harvest while Matcha 110 is made of the first flush.
Flavor
Our organic tea is rich in amino acids, vitamins, and minerals and high in caffeine and catechin antioxidants (the latter being a consequence of the very small particle size of the processed leaf).
Characteric matcha taste but it has a slightly less outspoken flavor that the 110.
Use
It certainly can be used for making matcha tea but its milder flavor makes it excellent for adding it to smoothies, lattes, use it in the kitchen for desserts or seasoning...

Additional information
Hibiki-an organic tea farm
Midgaard is honoured to be selected as the first Belgian importer of the Hibiki-an organic green teas!
"Hibiki" in Japanese means "touching someone's heart."
Hibiki-an is surrounded by the rolling hills of Uji, in the ancient city of Kyoto, where the Japanese tradition of green tea began over 1,000 years ago. In Japan, when people think of high quality green tea, they think of Uji. The misty climate, sloping hills, warm days and cool nights provide an ideal setting for tea plants to thrive.
Today the Yasui family (owner of the Hikibi-an farm) combine centeries old farming, harvesting and processing traditions with modern day techniques.
There are only a few farmers that produce organic green tea in a small part of Kyoto. Although Japanese green tea can be harvested two to four times throughout the year, the Hibiki-an tea only has one harvest a year, thus guarantying an exceptional high standard of quality and flavour.
The Japanese describe organic farming as "Daichi tono Kakutoh", which literally means "taking a lot of time and great effort to grow".
With no use of chemical fertilizers, herbicide or pesticide, modern organic farming is identical to that of the ancient farmers.
Please enjoy the simple and traditional taste of the Hibiki-an organic green teas!
