Our matcha is farm-direct, directly from the multi-generational farmers in Japan who’ve been growing teas the same way for hundreds of years.
Tea is more than just a drink; it is a cherished tradition in Japan that dates back to the Nara and Heian periods (710-794). Green tea, in particular, has played a vital role in Japanese culture, and at Kafepa’, we are excited to share this heritage with tea lovers in Laos. Our focus extends beyond coffee to highlight the exquisite flavors of carefully selected green tea sourced from renowned production areas in Japan.
The Essence of Green Tea
Quality Matters: The vibrant green color of high-quality Matcha signifies its freshness and quality. However, as time passes, this bright hue can fade to a dull red, and the tea’s aroma may diminish. Proper storage is essential to preserve its unique characteristics.
Static electricity and vibration during transport result in lumps in the matcha. which has no quality problems and can be detected by filtering on a sieve before use.
Fresh and high-quality Matcha will be very bright green. However, the green color of Matcha is a natural color, so when it ages or deteriorates, the color will turn red, and the aroma will gradually decrease, so be careful when storing.
Green tea is sensitive to high temperature, humidity, light, and odor transmission, in which especially the color of Matcha needs special care as it changes color and deteriorates quickly. If it is still in the unopened package, there is no need to worry about moisture, light, or food transmission that reduces the aroma, but it is also sensitive to high temperature, so it should be stored in the refrigerator as much as possible, and eaten while it is still fresh after opening the package. After opening, close the lid tightly and store in the refrigerator to prevent the fragrance from fading.
You should use warm water with a temperature of about 75-85℃ to beat the tea. Because if the temperature is too hot, it will make the tea taste bad, or if it is too cold, the aroma of the tea may not come out as it should.
