705 Matcha Powder 30g Tin

We are proud to present a higher grade of Matcha than what we've offered in the past - smooth, sweet flavor in a vibrant green cup! Our top-quality matcha is produced by steaming, drying, and grinding the green tea, tencha into a fine powder. Since tencha is shade grown to inhibit sunlight, it is rich in theanine, known for its ability to relax the mind and restore mental balance.

Matcha has single-handedly made its social and ritualistic mark in Japanese cultural tradition through the Japanese Tea Ceremony, Chano yu. When Matcha is lathered properly with a chasen or bamboo whisk, the tea powder is transformed into a frothy, vibrant green cup, with body and sweetness like no other fully ingested tealeaf in the world.

Recommendations: For strong tea, use one level tsp. for 4-6 oz. of water. For a thinner tea, use 1/2 tsp. Place matcha in the matcha bowl, then pour hot water (not boiling) gradually over the matcha while whisking. Mix well.

Health Benefits: In traditional Chinese and Indian medicine, green tea has been used as a stimulant, diuretic, digestive aid and astringent. Studies show that green tea has the ability to regulate blood glucose, enhance mental performance, reduce inflammation, improve bone mineral density and lower risk of heart disease. It is a rich source of the polyphenol EGCG, shown to provide protection against cancer.
