Step into the World of Japanese Matcha

---

Čajový Dom has been exploring Japanese Matcha since 2009. Over the years, we have built long-standing relationships with Japanese tea growers and producers, from whom we source our Matcha directly. This allows us to offer freshly milled Matcha straight from Japan, with a strong focus on quality and freshness.

Matcha is everywhere these days – in tea rooms, cafés, on social media and in all kinds of lattes.

But what exactly is Matcha?
Why has it attracted so many fans, and what is all the excitement about?
What does tea have to meet to be called Matcha?
Why is it shade-grown, and how does the length of shading affect its flavour?
How does the processing of Matcha differ from that of Japanese Sencha?

Together, we will taste three blended Matcha teas made from different cultivars. We will compare their colour, aroma and flavour, and explore the characteristics that help us recognise high-quality Matcha.
As an interesting bonus, we will also taste a Japanese Sencha and compare it with Matcha.

The tasting will be led by Jozef “Zajo” Zajac from Čajový Dom.

Come and discover Matcha beyond its beautiful green colour that has made it so popular on social media.
