Matcha Ocean 2024 No.340

Matcha Ocean is especially recommended for those looking for the ideal matcha for lattes and desserts. 

Although Matcha (抹茶) is traditionally a staple of Japanese tea ceremonies, Matcha Ocean has been optimised for use in the kitchen. The delicate grinding of the shaded, hand-picked leaves results in a powder that dissolves easily, yet retains a distinctive flavour, making it the perfect choice for lattes and desserts. 

This Matcha has the sweet, tart notes of pecans and the grassy, greenish aroma of freshly mown grass. It delivers a latte-rich yet silky experience, where the greenness melts into a subtle melon sweetness, creating harmony in the blend of tea and milk.

Recipe for Matcha Latte:

- 2 grams Zhao Zhou Matcha Ocean 340

- 40 ml 80 degrees boiling water or filtered water

- 100 ml milk of your choice

Heat the chawan (tea bowl) with hot water, pat dry, and sift in the matcha powder. Sifting helps to prepare the drink to mix better and provides a silky texture. Using a chasen (tea whisk), mix the matcha powder with the hot water. First in a slow figure-eight motion, then in a quick stirring motion for about a minute. The fine foam that forms should contain only small bubbles - that's how you know it's been well mixed. Pour the resulting thick drink over the cold or warm milk of your choice.

We recommend our ceremonial grade matchas for those seeking a classic, traditional matcha experience.
