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.
