CONTES DE FLORE Matcha Tea epitomizes the sublime harmony between time-honored traditions and modern wellness trends. Derived from the tender leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, this signature green tea powder has been meticulously cultivated, harvested, and ground to perfection. Originating from the esteemed tea plantations in Japan, CONTES DE FLORE Matcha Tea encapsulates centuries-old expertise and unparalleled quality. Matcha, known for its rich history rooted in Japanese tea ceremonies, has now transcended time and borders, becoming a beloved staple in contemporary health regimens worldwide.
The journey of CONTES DE FLORE Matcha Tea begins in the lush, verdant tea gardens of Japan, where the finest shade-grown tea leaves are nurtured to maturity. The plants are shielded from direct sunlight for several weeks before harvest, a process that enhances the chlorophyll content and results in the vibrant green hue characteristic of premium matcha. This shading method also increases the production of amino acids, particularly L-theanine, which imparts the tea's distinct umami flavor and contributes to its calming effects.
Hand-picked with precision and care, the youngest and most delicate leaves are selected for the highest grade of matcha. These leaves are then steamed momentarily to prevent oxidation, preserving their natural color and nutritional integrity. The leaves are then dried and deveined, ensuring that only the purest leaf matter remains. This labor-intensive process culminates in the traditional stone-milling of the leaves into an ultra-fine, jade-green powder that is uniquely CONTES DE FLORE Matcha Tea.
CONTES DE FLORE offers an exquisite selection of matcha tea to cater to various preferences and culinary uses. Each variety is crafted to provide a unique sensory experience, appealing to matcha purists and experimental foodies alike.
Ceremonial Grade Matcha is the pinnacle of purity and refinement, reserved for the most discerning tea connoisseurs. This grade is typically used in traditional Japanese tea ceremonies and is characterized by its delicate flavor profile, vibrant color, and smooth, creamy texture. A single sip reveals a complex interplay of subtle sweetness and rich umami, balanced with a hint of astringency. Ideal for straight whisking with hot water, ceremonial grade matcha offers a profound and meditative tea-drinking experience.
Premium Grade Matcha strikes a balance between quality and versatility. This variety boasts a slightly more robust flavor than ceremonial grade, making it suitable not only for traditional tea preparation but also for culinary applications. Whether used in lattes, smoothies, or as an ingredient in gourmet recipes, premium grade matcha provides a rich, vibrant flavor and stunning color that elevates any dish or beverage.
Culinary Grade Matcha is specially formulated for use in cooking and baking. With a more pronounced taste and slightly less refined texture, this grade of matcha can withstand the heat and bold flavors of various recipes. From matcha-infused desserts and pastries to savory dishes and creative cocktails, culinary grade matcha imparts a distinctive green tea flavor and color that enhances both the visual appeal and taste of your creations.
CONTES DE FLORE Matcha Tea is celebrated for its complex flavor profile and inviting aroma. Depending on the grade and preparation, the taste can range from mellow and sweet to rich and robust, with nuances of umami, a slight earthiness, and a gentle astringency. The aroma is equally enchanting, with fresh, grassy notes complemented by a subtle sweetness that tantalizes the senses.
The ceremonial grade matcha offers the most delicate and nuanced flavors, ideal for those who appreciate the subtleties of high-quality tea. Premium grade provides a versatile flavor that is both smooth and satisfying, while culinary grade brings a pronounced matcha taste that stands out in a variety of dishes and beverages.
The health benefits of CONTES DE FLORE Matcha Tea are as remarkable as its flavor.

These powerful antioxidants help combat oxidative stress and may contribute to a reduced risk of chronic diseases.
Matcha is also an excellent source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, selenium, chromium, zinc, and magnesium. It supports immune health, aids in detoxification, and provides a natural boost of energy without the jitters commonly associated with other caffeinated beverages.
