About Matcha
Stone-ground green tea leaves into fine powder. Buddhist monk Eisai brought tea seeds from China. The entire leaf is consumed, not just an infusion. Ceremonial grade costs 5-10x more than culinary grade. The Japanese tea ceremony takes years to master. High in L-theanine for calm focus without jitters.
