Loose Leaf (Camillia Taliensis) is picked fresh off the tree, quickly brought back to the “factory”, and steamed to prevent oxidization and lock in the fresh green color. It is then gently dried, with warm air, for packaging. After that, you can put some leaves in a steeper, place the steeper in your cup, wait about a minute, then enjoy the best tasting green tea you’ve ever had. By enjoying a nice cup of green tea, you get the benefit of all those healthy nutrients inherent in green tea.

Matcha green tea is grown and crafted in a very specific manner. It is partially shade-grown to bring out the sweet flavor and improve the color. Each leaf is de-stemmed, then ground into powder using large, proprietary, hand-cut stones shaped like discs. The result is a beautiful emerald green colored powder that is then mixed directly into your cup of hot water. Do the whisking properly, and you get a frothy head on top. You consume the entirety of the green tea leaf and benefit from all of the goodness that the extraordinary leaf has to offer. The Japanese use Matcha for ceremonies and medicinal purposes. You can do the same, with our Ceremonial grade.
