YAMATEA X HYATT REGENCY

We had an extraordinary evening at Mosaic Cafe, Hyatt Regency Kinabalu weeks ago for a Matcha Event where we presented our delightful matcha beverages together with exceptional matcha themed cuisines by Hyatt Regency.

This event made us realised that there’s a lot of potential in matcha and we are so happy to be able to make a new connection with all the guests.

We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Hyatt Regency Hotel for giving us the opportunity to build connections, to explore and expand our journey of creativity through F&B.

It is truly amazing how food and drinks can really connect people. A special thank you for all the guests who came and bought our matchas, we hope to see you again in the future

What is Umami when describing the taste in matcha? Umami is a rich, savory flavor also found in foods like bone broth and miso soup. When present in matcha, this umami flavor is also sometimes described as oceanic, similar to seaweed. Umami is a taste that spreads across the tongue, coating it completely. Lingering. Bringing a mouthwatering sensation. A pleasant savory taste.

The shading process that matcha tea plants undergo contributes to their umami flavor. These plants are shaded for up to three weeks prior to harvest, which increases the chlorophyll levels in the plants and produces a rich, savory flavor.

Did you know that water temperature matters when it comes to matcha ?

The best water temperature for matcha is between 70°C – 80°C.

If the water temperature is too high, the matcha will tastes bitter and astringent, and if it’s too low, the matcha is not properly brewed.

This temperature range makes the matcha full of flavours, rich, smooth, and creamy.

Matcha is best to keep it inside the fridge. The cold and dark space will help to keep the matcha fresh. If it’s exposed to heat and air the matcha will begin to slowly change colour from the vibrant green to brownish green.

Matcha has a shelf life of about 1 year if sealed. The shelf life changes once you open your matcha. Thats why a good quality matcha often sold in a smaller quantity.
