First Flush vs Second Flush Matcha

✅ If you drink matcha tea often, you\'ve probably heard the words \"first-flush\", \"second flush\" (ichibancha or nibancha), and the price of first flush tea is significantly higher. If you\'re not sure why, let me explain below.

Why is matcha first flush better?

✅ In winter, tea buds hibernate for several months, waiting for spring to arrive. During this time, they accumulate all the valuable nutrients, making them exceptionally rich and full of flavor.

✅ As the saying goes, \"Quality takes time.\" First flush tea leaves grow slowly in cold conditions, drawing the best from nature over a longer period of time. This makes first flush matcha unmatched in quality and taste, offering a more intense experience for true connoisseurs.

Why is first flush tea better?

✅ L-theanine is a key source of umami, the plant-based sweetness that defines the quality and character of matcha. First-harvest matcha contains three times more L-theanine than second-harvest tea. Later harvests, such as the third and fourth, have even less L-theanine. Additionally, the first harvest concentrates the greatest amount of nutrients in the leaves.

✅ If you\'ve ever tried a very bitter matcha, it probably wasn\'t first-harvest tea. Bitterness isn\'t synonymous with matcha flavor; high-quality matcha has an intense, full-bodied flavor with minimal bitterness, so you don\'t need to add sugar to balance the flavor.

✅ In this auction we have a Marcha that consists of the first harvest with the addition of the second. It is ideal for making matcha latte, drinking it with added sugar or preparing it in any other way. If we mix our matcha with something other than water, this version is for you because you will not see the difference between this and 100% first harvest. However, if you want to drink it with only water, the bitterness will be noticeable. It will be great if you are starting your adventure with matcha.

How to recognize good matcha?

✅We recognize good matcha mainly by its color . It must be intensely green, because the higher and the younger the leaves were, the more chlorophyll they have, which is responsible for the intense green color. Leaves growing lower are more yellow because they have less light. Therefore, the more intensely green the matcha is, the better the leaves were used to produce it, and the more yellow, the older and from the lower parts of the plant. We offer ceremonial economic matcha at this auction, marked in green in the frame below.
