The tea leaves for this Matcha, aka Tencha, are grown according to strict JAS Organic standards in the picturesque mountains of Kirishima, which literally translates to "fog Island." As the name suggests, the region is very misty due to its warm southerly location blessed with abundant water. This fog not only adds to the shading process of the Tencha, but also provides year-round natural sun protection that helps to encourage the development of sweetness and umami in the leaves.

Taste

This Matcha opens with a strong yet pleasant, refreshing bitterness that quickly gives way to a soft sweetness and full, creamy texture. This wonderful everyday premium organic Matcha is perfect for whisking into frothy Usucha tea: as prepared in the Japanese tea ceremony, as well as providing an elegant base for Matcha lattes.

Texture

Creamy, milky

Made of finely ground shade-grown leaves, Matcha is one of the finest Japanese teas. Unlike other green teas it is made from the whole leaf and is therefore packed with nutrients. Good matcha has an intense, sweet taste and plenty of umami with barely any tartness even when prepared as thick, concentrated Koicha, as drunk in the traditional Japanese tea ceremony.

We go to great lengths to identify the finest organic tea farms across the world’s most celebrated terroirs. All our teas are sourced directly from the farmer and, with a few exceptions, are certified organic or come from pesticide-free farms. Each batch of tea for every harvest is tested for pesticides and other pollutants in an independent German lab to ensure they meet our strict quality standards as well as HACCP food safety requirements.

Thanks to these strong relationships our exciting range is constantly growing and evolving. As an international team of dedicated and passionate tea experts, we are committed to preserving centuries-old tea culture while ensuring it remains relevant and continues to bring joy in the present. About Yoshi En.

Cultivation & Processing

Kirishima has long been perceived as an exceptionally mystical, hallowed place – as evidenced by the awe-inspiring Kirishima Shrine originally built in the 6th century in the heart of the "misty island." The famed fog that covers the region results in a constant mild, humid climate that provides optimal conditions for tea cultivation. What's more, the Kirishima terroir is characterised by mineral- and nutrient-rich volcanic soil, which gives the Matcha from this region an exceptional richness and complexity.

Our JAS and EU Organic certified tea farm prides itself on its traditional approach to tea cultivation, making the most out of Kirishima's natural resources, which they are committed to preserve through sustainable, environmentally-friendly farming.

Single Origin

This Matcha comes from one tea farm in Kirishima and is packed into airtight packaging on site.

Preparation

Using a Chashaku bamboo scoop, put two heaped scoops or one teaspoon (approx. 3g matcha) into a Matcha bowl – or for an extra smooth result sift the Matcha first using a fine mesh strainer. Then pour approximately 60ml to a maximum of 80ml of hot water between 60°C and 80°C into the bowl without pouring directly onto the powder to avoid clumping.

Next take a Chasen Matcha whisk and place it in the bowl at an angle of about 90° to the base. Now gently but quickly move the whisk back and forth in a tight zigzag motion, without pressing it into the base or sides as much as possible, to achieve the classic Matcha foam. Make sure to avoid circular movements, and the faster the whisking is performed the fluffier the foam. Practice makes perfect – enjoy!

Test results

We find it very important that our teas are pure and produced in a way that respects the environment. For this reason, each one of our teas is tested for pesticide residues by an independent laboratory, the results of which can be found here. Some of our teas are also tested for specific nutritional compounds, in which case the test results are also published here.
