About this Product
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.

I was AMAZED at how good this matcha was. I have never found a matcha that is not bitter at all. What a wonderful quality of a product. This company knows what they are doing in the tea world.
