Wild Strawberry Matcha tastes berry fresh with a vegetal, rounded aroma. It finishes with a freshcut strawberry aftertaste. Whether you like your matcha in the traditional style, or as a matcha latte, we have you covered. Our matcha is shade grown approximately three weeks, with its stems and veins removed. Then tea leaves get ground into powdered form. To prepare, mix matcha powder into water (traditionally done with a bamboo whisk). Because matcha consists of whole tea leaves, both nutrients—including chlorophyll, antioxidants, and vitamin content—and the caffeine content remain higher than infused teas. Matcha is the power punch of green tea! The tea master who produces this matcha received the Top Tea Connoisseur award in Japan. This family-operated company bypasses the Japanese government tea auctions and purchases tea directly from the farmers. Thus tea farmers earn a higher price, and the manufacturer knows their tea source.
