Region: Yame Producer: MIZOTA CHISAKO
PRODUCTION AREA
YAME(Fukuoka Prefecture)-The most renowned plantations in Fukuoka prefecture are located in Yame area. Morning mists and river fogs are very frequent. Curtains of fog wrap green tea plantations, properly blocking sunlight. Thanks to the area’s particular soil, most of the green tea produced in this region has a full-bodied taste and a remarkable sweetness.
PRODUCER
This wonderful tea is grown by Chisako Misota who was born in Fukuoka in 1937 and at the age of 19 began to farm green tea with her family. Her grandsons keep the tradition alive by working side-by-side with Mizota-san.
PREPARATION
Matcha is prepared in a different way compared to the other kinds of Japanese tea.
Matcha can be prepared using the traditional Japanese Matcha bowl(Chawan) and whisk(Chasen),but all you really need is a good wire strainer to SIFT your matcha prior to mixing:
-Take 1 ½ to 2 teaspoons of matcha and use a spoon to force the matcha power THROUGH the strainer to form a fine, clumpless power into a cup, bowl or shaker
-Pour approx. 1-2 oz of hot water(160-170 degrees) onto the matcha power and use a wire or bamboo whisk to make a smooth paste.
-For a serving of traditional matcha, add an additional 3-4 oz water and use whisk in a brisk “W” motion until the matcha has a thick froth forming on the surface
-To make your favorite matcha based beverages, after you have formed your smooth paste, add steamed milk, cold almond/oat milk, or even soda water for a refreshing cooler. There is NO wrong way…experiment!
