Dona Ceremonial Matcha for Tea Lovers, 1.1 oz Tin

Product Description: The Ultimate Matcha Experience for All Levels

Indulging in the rich flavors of our premium, ceremonial-grade matcha is an experience crafted for everyone, from beginners to seasoned enthusiasts. This exquisite matcha boasts a deep umami taste that seamlessly marries toasty undertones with a delightful nutty aroma. Thanks to our meticulous stone-milling process, the matcha achieves a smooth, creamy consistency that makes whisking a breeze.

Sourced Directly for Authenticity

Our matcha is sourced directly from a multi-generational family farm nestled in the verdant hills of Wazuka, Kyoto, Japan. The farm thrives on mineral-rich, clay soil, which is perfectly suited for nurturing the green tea leaves that become our ceremonial-grade matcha.

Exceptional Cultivation Techniques

Utilizing the Okumidori cultivar, which is a brilliant hybrid of Yabukita and Shizuoka Zairai tea plants, our matcha captures a remarkable balance of umami flavor. This cultivar not only delivers an exquisite umami taste but also introduces a hint of astringency and a refreshing, elegant aroma that elevates each sip.

Traditional Harvesting Process

Tea leaves are painstakingly hand-picked once a year in May, during the peak of the harvest season. After being plucked, the leaves undergo a comprehensive process involving steaming, drying, sifting, and cutting to prevent oxidation, ensuring the preservation of their vibrant flavor and nutrients.

Guaranteed Freshness

To mаintain the highest quality, our leaves are stone-ground into a fine powder before being sealed into airtight bags and placed in Dona tea tins. We expedite our delivery through air freight directly from Japan, reducing shipping times from 3-4 months to just a few weeks. For optimal freshness, we recommend storing the matcha in the refrigerator.

How to Make Your Perfect Matcha

If you lack a traditional matcha or tea bowl, any ceramic or porcelain bowl with a wide mouth will do. We recommend utilizing a whisk made from white bamboo to effectively blend the matcha powder and water without damaging your bowl. Follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare Your Matcha: Scoop 1 teaspoon (2 grams) of matcha into your bowl.
2. Add Water: Pour in 2.5 ounces of hot water at approximately 170°F.
3. Whisk: Vigorously whisk the mixture until it becomes frothy and well combined.

Enjoy Hot or Iced

For an iced matcha latte, transfer your whisked matcha into a glass filled with ice and mix in 6 ounces of your favorite milk. Stir and indulge in a refreshing experience! Alternatively, for a hot matcha latte, add the whisked matcha to a mug and combine it with 6 ounces of hot or steamed milk.

100% Ceremonial Grade Matcha

Our matcha is harvested once annually in May, ensuring it is at its peak flavor. Following meticulous processing to prevent oxidation, the leaves are stone-ground into a fine powder, delivering a smooth taste that caters to all matcha drinkers.

Crafted for Health

Vegan, gluten-free, and devoid of added sugar, our matcha consists entirely of pure tea leaves steamed and stone-milled into superior matcha. Feel the invigorating benefits of L-theanine, a natural amino acid in matcha that balances the energy from caffeine, providing a calm yet focused state for both mind and body.

Confidence in Preparation

Creating your matcha using traditional methods is simple: use a tea bowl that ensures ease of whisking, combine with hot water, and whisk until frothy—experience the authentic matcha ritual!
