Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder | 3.5 OZ – 80 Servings | Latte & Smoothie Grade | Japanese – First Harvest – Stone Milled | By

About This Product :

• Fine Culinary Grade is a genuine high quality matcha. It is organically grown in Kagoshima Prefecture by a ninth-generation family-owned tea estate that has accumulated over 250 years of artisan expertise. Use it to make a healthy breakfast, smoothies and lattes but can also be served in the traditional way with hot water.
• METHOD: The tea leaves are grown under shade for three weeks before the first flush of spring, leaves are hand picked, then powdered using traditional granite stone mills. The “First Flush of Spring” is the first harvest of the year, and the leaves contain three times more L-theanine than the second or summer harvest. Matcha contains high levels of antioxidants and amino acids.
• COLOR: the 20 days of shade force the plant to overproduce chlorophyll, which is what makes the tea a vibrant emerald green. Low quality matcha is pale and yellowish. TEXTURE: Green Tea Matcha is milled using granite stone mills. The result is a silky texture.
• TASTE: the L-theanine produced by an excess of chlorophyll gives Matcha a sweet taste and aroma of fresh grass. Low quality organic matcha powder tends to be bitter and astringent.
• We hope the the purity of our organic matcha will invite you to take a moment of your day to hold your own tea ceremony and enjoy quality time.
