Palate: Umami body with notes of roasted nori and biscuit. Accents of fresh cut grass, touches of nuts. Slight bitter undertone. Finish: lightly sweet and lingering savoury. At our Uji producer’s matcha production facility, the ground tea powder passes through a drum filter to screen larger particles from including in the finish product. In addition to the efforts in processing, in order to deliver a matcha with uniformly fine powder size, each batch of the production is monitored in a small lab right above the grinding facility. Here the particle size is measured and showed in a chart, as well as photograph through a microscope to give a visual reference to the datas. The lab also monitors other parameters such as content compositions, contaminants, and any chemical residuals, if any, satisfying the requirements of the strictest Japan food safety standards as well as the JONAS organic certification requirements. In order to satisfy the high requirements by the market and also tea ceremony masters for the colour of certain grades of matcha, our producer in Uji monitor the chromatic reading of each batch of production
