This organic shade-grown tea from the tencha leaf is stone ground into a fine powder to be whisked into hot water. A smooth cup with no astringency and a vegetal sweetness is produced. Because the whole leaf is consumed, it provides more of the benefits that green tea has to offer.
On average, Matcha contains less than half the amount of caffeine per cup than in a similar-sized cup of coffee.

Ingredients: Organic Japanese matcha powder stone ground from premium Japanese Tencha leaves.

Steeping Instructions: Fill the kettle with fresh, filtered water and heat to just short of boiling. Fill matcha bowl or cup with warm water and pour out. Add ½ to 1 teaspoon of matcha powder to bowl or cup. Add 6 oz of steaming water (175°F). Experiment to find your favored strength. Using a tea whisk or a hand frother blend for one to two minutes until the matcha forms a nice top foam. For iced tea, blend ½ to 1 teaspoon to 8 oz of cold water and pour into a glass of ice.
