Matcha
Originating in China & spreading to Japan in the 12th century, Matcha was revered by Buddhist monks as a meditation aid that helped stimulate alertness & clarity of mind. To make Matcha, tea leaves are shade-grown to increase chlorophyll & induce a vivid emerald hue. The de-veined & de-stemmed leaves are stone-ground into a delicate powder prized for its herbaceous scent & taste.
Matcha is a rich source of antioxidants, which are known to help protect against environmental aggressors.
