Matcha Green Tea

Matcha is a powdered green tea made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. Unlike regular green tea, matcha involves consuming the entire leaf, which provides higher levels of antioxidants and nutrients. It's packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, offering benefits like increased energy, improved focus, and enhanced well-being.

Unlike regular green tea, where leaves are steeped in water and discarded, Matcha is consumed as a whole leaf powder, making it richer in antioxidants and nutrients.

The meticulous cultivation and stone-grinding process of matcha, combined with its premium quality and health benefits, contribute to its price.
