Matcha (Powdered Green Tea)

A powdered grade of Sencha that is traditionally used for the Japanese tea ceremony. It is very nutty, with surprisingly little astringence and a smooth finish. The tea is prepared by whisking the powder into a liquid froth in a bowl, then served in small cups. It has gained popularity for its health benefits, because when you drink the whole leaf, you also benefit from all of the anti-oxidants and minerals it contains. It is best brewed with just under boiling (175°F) water and whisked into a heavy green froth which makes it akin to espresso. It is also very versatile in cooking and adding to shakes and smoothies for the added benefits of #ltheanine , which is a compound found in green tea that neutralizes the caffeine to give you more mental clarity and focus, instead of the jitters and crash!
