Matcha Green Tea First Quality ORGANIC

Matcha is finely ground powder of specially grown and processed green tea leaves. It is special in two aspects of farming and processing.  The green tea plants for matcha are shade-grown for about three weeks before harvest and the stems and veins are removed in processing. During shaded growth, the plant Camellia sinensis produces more theanine and caffeine. The powdered form of matcha is consumed differently from tea leaves or tea bags, and is dissolved in a liquid, typically water, milk or juice.
