Matcha tastes different depending on where it grows. We analyse the "Terroir" of the three great tea capitals: The noble structure of Uji, the intense umami of Yame, and the volcanic power of Kagoshima.

Why does your matcha taste watery? It's a physics problem. We analyse the "Shear Force" difference between a Bamboo Whisk, an Electric Frother, and a Spoon.

Why does old matcha smell like hay? We ignore the colour and focus on the science of "Lipid Oxidation" and the "Bloom Test" - the only reliable way to check if your tea is still alive.

Not all matcha is the same plant. We decode the genetics of the tea field, comparing the industry standard "Yabukita" against the high-performance "Okumidori" and "Saemidori" cultivars.
