Its matcha is grown using the *traditional Honzu method*, a 30-day shading process with rice-straw mats before harvest. The collection includes cultivars Misaki, Matsu, and Meiko for drinking, and Midori and Mirai for culinary use, all processed from first-flush [tencha](https://best-matcha.com/glossary/tencha) ground slowly on **granite stone mills**. ## Creamy roasted matcha for traditional whisked preparation **Matsu Roasted Ceremonial Matcha** is an artisan-roasted matcha with an intense yet mellow flavor. Its creamy body, smooth mouthfeel, roasted aroma, umami, and savory-sweet undertones make it suited to ceremonial-style preparation with water. The 20 g format is currently sold out. ### What does the roasted profile taste like? Roasting defines this ceremonial-grade matcha. The technique has been handed down through generations of matcha sommeliers and brings the roasted aromas forward while retaining a complex flavor profile. Expect a rich, full body with a smooth mouthfeel compared with that of brewed espresso. Umami and savory-sweet undertones balance the intensity of the roast. The finish is long and creamy rather than brief or sharply defined. Matsu also has a deep green color likened to Japanese pine trees. - **Flavor:** intense with a mellow roasted character - **Aroma:** pronounced roasted notes - **Body:** rich, full, and creamy - **Finish:** long and creamy ### How should Matsu ceremonial matcha be whisked? Measure about 1 g of matcha, equal to 1/2 teaspoon or approximately two bamboo scoops, into a matcha bowl. Wet the matcha with 15 ml (0.5 fl oz) of water heated to 70°C (160°F). Knead the mixture thoroughly with a bamboo whisk until it forms a smooth paste. Add another 70 ml (2.4 fl oz) of water and mix until the drink is consistent. Rolling the liquid around the palate while sipping helps reveal the roasted flavor, umami, savory-sweet undertones, full body, and creamy finish. ### What should buyers know about the 20 g format?
