Organic Ceremonial Matcha Tea - 1st Grade

Matcha is a finely ground powder derived from green tea leaves. It's characterized by its vibrant, emerald green hue and rich, vegetal flavor. The tea plants for matcha are shaded weeks before harvesting, leading to a dark green leaf enriched with chlorophyll, caffeine, and l-theanine. After harvest, the leaves are steamed to stop oxidation, then stone-ground into a fine powder for sale.

Organic Ceremonial Matcha is a premium tea used traditionally in Japanese tea ceremonies. It's crafted from the tender, youngest leaves, which are hand-selected and ground into a fine powder. This matcha variant boasts a subtle flavor with a hint of sweetness. It's typically savored alone, whisked with hot water to create a frothy, bright green tea.

This quality is slightly more refined than culinary grade matcha and is best enjoyed in its pure form, rather than in lattes and confections.
