Matcha is a unique powder-type of green tea. Some of the finest matcha comes from Japan and is part of a traditional Japanese Tea Ceremony. This tea is made by plucking young tea leaves and it is then grinded into a beautiful green powder. The powder is then whisked in hot water with a handmade bamboo whisk. Matcha leaves are grown on green tea bushes kept under shade. The shade increases the amount of chlorophyll content in the leaves, which is what makes them bright green and full of nutrients. It has approximately 70mg of caffeine per 8oz cup, which will provide 4-6 hours of long lasting energy.
