Ceremonial grade Matcha from Japan is grown under shade for a few weeks beforehand, inducing increases in chlorophyll levels that give Matcha its rich emerald hue. Cup for cup, Matcha contains approximately 2-3x more caffeine than steeped tea, equivalent to the amount in a regular cup of coffee. Yet, sensibly, the L-theanine in Matcha leads to an alert, tranquil feeling, instead of a potentially jittery buzz.

Preparing Matcha

Use a bowl or a cup. Boil water to 185° and add 1/2 teaspoon of Matcha powder per 3 oz.'s of water. Whisk the Matcha powder with a bamboo whisk in a bowl or cup until the Matcha powder is completely dissolved. Whisk vigorously and when whisked properly it should look frothy and bright green.

Matcha is a nourishing beverage and once prepared it should be consumed in its entirety. We recommend storing Matcha in the refrigerator.

Approximately 15 servings per canister.
