(item#:MATCHA)

A premium green tea powder from Japan. The tea plants are shaded weeks prior to harvesting which causes a surge in chlorophyll content. Only the youngest leaves of the tea plant are harvested, but the whole leaf is ground into powder. Compared to green tea, Matcha has 10x the nutritional value and antioxidant content, and contains 137 times the amount of EGCG. It also contains L-theanine, an amino acid known to relax the mind.
