About this item

• Our highest grade of matcha, the word Kiwami translates to “ultimate” or “extreme;” Displaying a balanced umami flavor, Kiwami presents tasting notes of florals, honey, and cream, a refreshing fragrance, and a hint of natural sweetness: it’s also the best matcha we’ve ever tasted
• Sustainably grown in the hills of Shizuoka, Japan, this unique tea is carefully crafted from hand picked tea leaves of a single cultivar: The Okumidori cultivated tea variety, well renowned for its matcha profile; This makes Kiwami rare, as most matcha is made using a blend of cultivars from multiple farms in order to achieve the desired balanced taste
• How to Prepare: Sift half to one and a half teaspoons to strength preference of matcha into whisking bowl; Add 2 ounces of water heated to 180 degrees F; Using bamboo whisk, whisk vigorously in a zig zag pattern until all clumps dissolve and a nice froth is achieved; For a latte: combine whisked matcha with 6 oz of warm or cold milk; For an americano: combine whisked matcha with 6 ounces of hot water
