PowdersMatcha is the oldest, most premium variety of green tea in Japan. Buddhist Monks have been using Matcha green teas for meditation for over 800 years and only several dozen farmers in Japan have the understanding required to produce this tea, high in antioxidants and amino acids. To produce Matcha, the freshest leaves are handpicked, dried and ground by low friction granite stone mills into an ultra fine, jade green powder, and whisked with a bamboo whisk, creating Matcha powder which can be used to brew a unique, creamy velvet, full-bodied cup of tea. The Tea Alchemist encourages you to move beyond the pot with Matcha and use the powder in baking, we recommend adding it to your favourite holiday baking recipes.
