Ceremonial Matcha Green Tea is a premium tea powder which has been used in traditional Japanese tea ceremonies for nearly a millennium. It is made from shade-grown tea leaves, avoiding direct sunlight and stimulating growth in chlorophyll. Only the finest tea buds are picked and dried to create the fine milled, bright-green powder. It has a unique and distinctive taste, the higher the quality, the sweeter, less astringent the flavour. Our Matcha is of a ceremonial grade. Matcha contains high levels of antioxidants, providing over 5 times that of any other food. It is also a source of caffeine, however differing from coffee. Matcha can also be used as a food ingredient and natural food dye.
