Orteas (올티스) is a prestigious agricultural cooperative dedicated to certified organic farming on Jeju Island, South Korea. This Ceremonial Grade Matcha represents the absolute pinnacle of their craftsmanship, sourced exclusively from the coveted first spring flush (haet-cha). Cultivated beneath deliberate shade cloths on Jeju’s pristine volcanic plains, the tender young leaves are carefully harvested and slow-ground on traditional granite stone mills into an ultra-fine, silky powder.
This single-origin selection offers an impeccable farm-to-cup traceability. In the bowl, it reveals an intensely vibrant emerald-green color, a remarkably smooth and deeply sweet umami flavor profile, and a sophisticated, subtle mineral undertone unique to Jeju’s rich volcanic terroir.
Versatile Preparation Guide:
Traditional Ceremony: Sift 1.5g of powder into a warmed chawan (tea bowl), add 150ml (5 oz) of soft hot water cooled to 70°C (158°F), and whisk vigorously in a rapid "W" motion with a bamboo chasen until a thick, velvety micro-foam coats the surface.
Premium Matcha Latte: Whisk 2g of powder into 50ml (1.7 oz) of hot water at 70°C (158°F) until smooth, then gently pour over hot or cold milk of your choice.
Artisanal Culinary Arts: Its pristine organic quality makes it an outstanding ingredient for infusing high-end pastries, homemade mochis, and gourmet ice creams with pure color and flavor.
