Organic Matcha Tea in Portion Bags / Premium Grade

Matcha tea is a finely powdered green tea used in Japanese Zen Buddhist tea ceremonies. It is whisked into a beautifully vibrant green drink with a refined, full-bodied taste. The tea bushes are shaded to protect them from the sun, and only the finest leaves are picked, which are then dried and ground in very special granite stone mill wheels.

The Matcha powder has the same properties as green tea in leaf form, but since the whole leaf is used, it becomes extra nutritious. The antioxidant effect is extremely high. It is rich in vitamins A, C, and E. Matcha also contains the special amino acid L-theanine which is only found in green tea.

This Matcha Tea is made from the Gyokuro tea bush (not from tencha or sencha). This means it contains a high concentration of amino acids, L-Theanine, and caffeine - this combination provides a gentle assimilation in the body.

The tea is harvested only once per year from young spring leaves when they are at their most nutritious and potent in content and flavor.
