Matcha Powder – 2 oz

Description

Matcha, which literally translates to ‘powdered tea’, has been crafted in Japan for over 1,000 years. It is made by harvesting tea leaves at their peak, then  steaming, drying, and gently grinding the leaves to preserve the high nutrition profile.  Matcha powder is the only tea where you consume the whole leaf rather than just the water extract of the leaf.  Its health benefits correlate with higher levels of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients, including L-theanine. Matcha is one of the most powerful superfoods and contains the highest amount of disease-fighting antioxidants of any tea. Consuming matcha powder can help increase concentration, energy, metabolism, and regulate blood sugar levels.  Ceremonial grade Matcha Tea as the highest level of purity and  lacks the bitterness other matcha grades can contain.  Enjoy this smooth, bright tea while enjoying its mood, energy, and focus boosting properties.

Ingredients: Organic, ceremonial grade Matcha Green Tea powder

Brewing Instructions:

• Add 1 tsp of ceremonial grade matcha green tea powder to your cup while heating 4 oz of off-the-boil water. The ideal temperature for matcha is 175° or just off-the-boil.
• Mix a small amount of the hot water with the matcha and whisk together to make a paste to prevent clumping.
• Pour the remaining water into your cup and whisk again until slightly frothy. Enjoy as is, or add a touch of sweetener if you prefer.
• Make an iced matcha tea using the same method as above, but filling your cup with ice and cold water instead after making a paste.
