Matcha, Organic Tea Powder

Description

Organic Matcha Tea Powder is a premium green tea powder from Japan rich in nutrients, antioxidants, fiber and chlorophyll. The health
benefits of matcha exceed those of other green teas because the whole leaf is ingested when brewed traditionally. One glass of matcha is the equivalent of 10 glasses of green tea in terms of nutritional value and antioxidant content. 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.
