We source our Premium Grade Matcha directly from an organic garden in Japan, which we visited in 2023. Once produced mainly for the tea ceremony, Matcha has found a much broader audience today due to its high antioxidant content and versatility as an ingredient that can be added to fruit smoothies for breakfast, or to ice cream for dessert. Perfect for making matcha lattes! Bruce Richardson says, "If I'm feeling a bit lethargic during the day, I often shake a teaspoon of matcha with a bottle of water for a quick pick-me-up. This potent tea contains the amino acid L-theanine, which combines with caffeine to keep me both focused and alert." Read his blog... Always buy fresh matcha in small amounts. Keep it tightly sealed, as it will oxidize quickly if left exposed to air. Refrigerate. Do not freeze! Hot tea brewing method: Bring filtered or freshly drawn water to less than a boil and let cool to roughly 160°F. Place 1/2 teaspoon of Matcha in your cup. Infuse with 8oz water, whisk briskly, and enjoy. Iced matcha latte brewing methods: Use 1/2 tsp. (1g) per 8oz. (225ml) serving. Add 1/2 tsp. (1g) to the base of the cup and add 2oz. of hot water & mix vigorously to make a smooth paste-like liquid. Top with freshly steamed milk and sweeten to taste. Cool for 30-60 minutes and pour over ice. Slow-brewed Iced Matcha: Place 3 level teaspoons of Matcha into a glass pitcher. Fill the pitcher with ice and let it sit on the counter. After a few hours, the ice will have melted. Stir vigorously to ensure the Matcha goes into suspension. Pour over ice and enjoy! Sweeten with a bit of honey if you like.
