MSRP: $34.00 2.5 oz canister Shade-grown, stone-ground matcha from the upper elevations of Japan, this ceremonial-grade delicacy is the finest in its class. Smooth and silky with a creamy mouthfeel and bright green finish, this lovely matcha is perfect for a traditional ceremony and a daily delight. Loose leaf (powdered) green tea in a 2.5-oz canister (~35 servings). Ideal for tea shops, cafés, wellness retailers or gift assortments. Appeals to customers seeking high quality Japanese matcha for traditional ceremonies, latte art, or daily green tea rituals. Excellent margin item in premium tea offerings. This matcha is shade-grown to encourage enhanced chlorophyll production. Once harvested and dried, the leaves are stone-ground into a fine powder about five microns small, smaller than talcum or baby powder. Matcha is revered for its health qualities because, while most teas are steeped and separated, matcha is wholly consumed. It's like the difference between boiling spinach and just drinking the water and eating the greens along with the broth. Try it in a traditional Chawan for a wonderful experience.
