A cup of tea should be healthy and respect the nature of the plant itself. So would you want to use tea bags that, once steeped in hot water, can release harmful bacteria and release toxins? Most of these tea bags contain plastic, pesticides and are bleached with chlorine.
The second reason why you shouldn't use tea bags is that the leaves don't have enough space to unfold and float freely in the water, because that's the only way they can release their full flavor.
Matcha, like champagne, is crafted from specific cultivars, each contributing unique flavors. Sorate offers four cultivars: Yabukita (balanced, vibrant green), Samidori (deep green, mild), Asahi (rare, rich, creamy), and Okumidori (umami, bright green).
Single Cultivar matcha showcases one cultivar's traits, preferred by enthusiasts. Blended Cultivar matcha combines multiple cultivars for a balanced flavor, appealing to a broader audience. At Sorate, our diverse matchas highlight these unique flavors and qualities for a distinctive matcha experience.
