Matcha, Organic Tea Powder

On average, it contains less than half the amount of caffeine per cup than in a similar-sized cup of coffee.

Chlorophyll and amino acids give matcha its unique rich taste, an initial vegetal, astringent taste, followed by a lingering sweetness.
Matcha can be made as a hot beverage, or simply serve chilled by adding powder to a water bottle and shaking, it is tasty in green tea lattes, and try adding it to green tea smoothies.
Use in cooking with sauces for a great color.
