Ryu Mei Japanese Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder, 6.5oz Refill Eco Friendly Pack

Also known as “Summer Grade”, the leaves of Grade 6 Matcha are old enough to have said hello and bid farewell to the Spring months. Harvested last of all (the third harvest period, as opposed to second harvest for the Spring Grade and first harvest for the Ceremonial Grade), Summer Grade Matcha has lost the sweetness exhibited by the previous grades. To compensate, however, Summer Grade Matcha presents a bold, characteristic, and almost bitter flavor, as well as startling versatility. Though it stands on its own as a drink, and is common in sushi restaurants throughout all of Japan, the kitchen is where Grade 6 Matcha truly shines. Used widely in an enormous variety of recipes, Grade 6 Matcha lends its unique flavor to anything from pastries to ice cream—and can also be used for cosmetic purposes. A champion for a multitude of uses, this cheap but still delicious Matcha powder is deserving of a space in any pantry.
