A New Way of Matcha

 There was a pleasant surprise in my last order from Jagasilk! Jarred and Miyuki sent me a gift of their freshest in house roast and grind just weeks before my order…. What a treat. I honestly am not used to drinking in-house ground and roasted matcha.  It looks like Jagasilk has been doing this since 2018. 


Things have come a long way with matcha consumption in the West and I am still of the old school of ceremony and the main brands Hoshino and Marukyu-Koyamaen (of which all grades can be found on this blog).  Besides a few monastery  matcha that’s all I have consumed!  Actually, my very first exposure to this sort of thing was a free sample that was slipped into my last order of Hoshino matcha at Cultivate Tea.  I just consumed it last month blind without reading the sample package which I threw out and I instantly called my wife over to the bowl in disbelief.


There is now so much information available to the drinker these days- cultivar, location, elevation, blend, competition Score, date of grind… and Jagasilk gives the discerning drinker all of it… this is going to be a learning experience.  Jagasilk reviews are coming next…


Peace
