Hachi Matcha Platinum
Truly a cut above.
Platinum is our most refined Hachi matcha — a deep green, umami-rich blend with layers of savoury, vegetal and forest-like flavour. It is the kind of matcha that rewards your attention and makes you slow down for a minute.
There is a little drama in this one: rain on leaves, damp forest, mushroomy depth, sweetness and a long, complex finish. If Bronze is everyday and Silver is the all-rounder, Platinum is the one you make when the matcha itself is the occasion.
Region: Uji, Kyoto, Japan
Cultivars: Asahi, Uji Hikari and Samidori
Best for:
Traditional straight matcha, tea ceremony and experienced matcha drinkers looking for the most complex expression in the Hachi range.
How to prepare traditional matcha:
Sift ½–1 teaspoon of Platinum Hachi Matcha into a small bowl. Add 2–4 oz of water at approximately 70–80°C. Whisk vigorously for about 15 seconds until smooth and lightly frothy.
For a matcha latte:
You can absolutely use Platinum in a latte, but we think its more delicate flavours are best appreciated with water.
Storage:
Keep away from heat, light, air, moisture and strong odours. Once opened, keep tightly sealed and use as fresh as possible.
