Not only is it suitable for preparing Matcha as a tea, but it also can act as an ingredient in cooking and baking or for mixing into cocktails or smoothies.

This kind of tea is made from high quality leaves that are grown in 90% shade which gives the infusion its bright green colour. Powdered tea Matcha is used for the Japanese tea ceremony and contains a high amount of antioxidants and minerals. A highly stimulating tea. The infusion releases a fresh cut meadow aroma, with a full bodied, slight nutty taste. Recommended form of preparation: Put approx. 2 pinches of the powdered tea,
