My Matcha Life Matcha pUre Single Serving Ceremonial Matcha to go. Each packet contains 1.5g of 100% Ceremonial grade Japanese Matcha green tea. Smooth great taste.
Matcha pUre Ceremonial Single packets are shade grown and hand-picked at the first flush of spring when the leaves are young and fresh, bursting with the nutrients green tea is famous for. After picking, the leaves are de-stemmed and slowly stone ground into an ultra fine matcha tea powder.
The L-theanine amino acid is exclusive to tea and in our Matcha pUre Ceremonial Single packets you get a super concentration of it, more so than in lower grades of matcha. Because the matcha is picked during the first harvest in spring it naturally contains higher l-theanine. As the leaves sit under the sun until the second harvest in August, the sunlight changes much of the l-theanine into tannins, which make the tea leaf taste bitter. Matcha pUre Ceremonial Single packets are also abundant in antioxidants especially green tea’s most famous one, the EGCG catechin.
Japan makes the best matcha tea and has for the past 800 years. The matcha for Matcha pUre Ceremonial Single packets is grown and harvested in Japan using traditional Japanese methods of hand-picking, shade-growing, de-stemming, and slowly stone grinding. These simple, traditional methods make the best tasting and most nutrient dense matcha.
