Daily Matcha Tea Powder in Tin.
Unlike regular green tea, tender shade-grown tea leaves are stone ground to a fine powder. Instead of being steeped, matcha is simply blended into water and sipped (ground powder and all) allowing your body to take in more of the health benefits that green tea has to offer. This exceptional tea has the balanced flavors of what is referred to as umami (literally, "yummy" in Japanese). Savory, sweet, bright and grassy, this super energizing tea is great to wake up to. Or whisk away that afternoon slump.
Try mixed into your oatmeal, yogurt, smoothies or baked goods. To retain freshness after opening, reseal well and store in the refrigerator.
Ingredients: Japanese matcha powder stone-ground from premium sencha leaves.
Steeping Instructions:
1. Fill the kettle with fresh, filtered water and heat to just short of boiling.
2. Fill a bowl or cup with warm water and pour out.
3. Add ½ to 1 teaspoon of matcha to a bowl or cup. Add 6 oz of steaming (175°F) filtered water. Experiment to find your favored strength.
4. Using a whisk, fork or a hand frother, blend for one to two minutes until well blended.
For iced tea or latte, blend ½ to 1 teaspoon with 8 oz of cold water or milk and pour into a glass of ice. Add sweetener if desired.
