Matcha - Kagoshima - Barista Blend

Description

Our organic Barista-Grade Matcha is a blend of heirloom varietals from multi-generational farms located in the Kagoshima prefecture of Japan, where the rich volcanic soil contributes to a wonderfully nuanced flavor.  This blend combines the young, nutrient-dense leaves of the first Spring harvest with the most premium leaves of the second harvest.  The tea is shade-grown for a portion of the season, harvested in the spring and summer, and stone ground resulting in a vibrant green and deliciously smooth Matcha Green Tea.

Organic shade-grown matcha is considered a superfood, rich in antioxidants, polyphenols, a range of beneficial vitamins and minerals, as well as the combination of caffeine and l-theanine that results in a focused and relaxed alertness.  Matcha will give you a more balanced and jitter-free energy boost throughout the day, without a peak and crash commonly experienced with coffee.

Whisk in hot water for a traditional cup, add frothed milk for a matcha latte, add to smoothies, or get creative with drinks like matcha lemonade and matcha soda.  Matcha can also be shaken vigorously in a bottle of cold water for a quick, nutritious energy-boosting beverage.

Makes approximately 40 servings.
