Matcha green tea powder was originally made in China 1,000 years ago. In the 12th century, the Japanese adopted matcha, which they developed alongside the famous tea ceremony. Our high-quality matcha grown and processed using the techniques perfected over the centuries in Japan and China:

1. The tea garden is shaded for several weeks
2. Harvested leaves are steamed and made into tencha (small pieces of dry green tea for grinding)
3. Tencha is milled into an extraordinarily fine powder

Matcha may have many benefits due to healthy compounds, including antioxidants such as the catechin EGCG and amino acids like theanine. These compounds may aid relaxation, reduce inflammation, and prevent disease.

Recommended Storage for Matcha:

Keep in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Store in the refrigerator if desired. Be sure to seal tightly after opening to preserve freshness.
