Friday, February 25, 2022

 こんにちは 皆さん 私はジェンです!


Matcha is made from grounded green tea leaves.

Both iced green tea latte and plain latte are delicious.
Let's compare these 2 matcha powders!

Here's the matcha from Kagoshimatea.com. My client sent this matcha together with Genmaicha tea leaves as a token of appreciation.

By the way, this culinary matcha's brand is ITOEN.

ITOEN has a light color while Kagoshima has a dark color. That is because the culinary matcha has a lighter color than the organic matcha.

For a nice experience, you can use a Japanese tea set to make your matcha tea.

In my intro to my tea set, I am speaking in basic Japanese since I am still striving to study Japanese kitchen terms.

I might be biased here since the organic matcha came from my client, but I still prefer the organic matcha's taste. For ITOEN, it still tastes good but it will be better if mixed with desserts and milk teas.

Although, making organic matcha drink Kagoshima tea is fun, using ITOEN is more convenient as you get the best out of it even just making it by using a teaspoon, hot water, and cup. It is also good to add as an ingredient to desserts.

By the way, for my US readers, there is a 10% OFF on green tea items in my client's shop.




Pyramid teas and organic matcha have health benefits. The teabags used do not contain hazardous materials and the tea leaves can move more freely than those inside the regular tea bags.
