Organic (Culinary Grade) Matcha Green Tea Powder 1 lb Bag

What is Matcha and how is it different from other teas? Matcha is finely ground powder of specially grown and processed green tea leaves. It is distinct from other green teas and green tea powders because it is: -Shaded: Shading the plants concentrates more l-theanine in the leaf, which increases the sought-after umami flavor and cognitive boosting benefits of higher quality Matcha -Steamed: Steaming locks in EGCG, other powerful antioxidants, and the tea's vibrant green color. -De-veined: Further processing removes veins and stems that would otherwise diminish the flavor and color of the final Matcha product -Milled: Stone-milling with a granite mill creates superior quality Matcha. A granite mill can produce 40 grams of Matcha per hour. Milling areas are controlled for temperature and humidity  -From shade-grown, milled green tea leaves, Matcha is a finely powdered green tea widely used as a food additive to flavor and dye foods. It is associated with numerous benefits.     More Com
