Matcha
General Description
Japanese Matcha comes from shade grown tea leaves that are then ground into a velvety smooth powder. Matcha is said to have been produced towards the end of the 16th century but has since been a staple in Japanese culture. This antioxidant rich tea is filled with caffeine and can be made as a delicious latte, mixed with lemonade, added to ice cream, or enjoyed on its own.
