Just the right amount of organic stevia brings up the lemony aroma. Take a sip of this modern matcha, and you will feel ready for your next challenge.
Matcha was traditionally served to monks and samurai warriors at the Japanese tea ceremony. EGCG antioxidant rich matcha also offers caffeine and L-theanine, a natural relaxant. The good balance of stimulant and relaxant helps you to stay calm and alert at the same time.
Matcha, which literally means "powdered tea" in Japanese, was traditionally served to monks and samurai warriors at the Japanese tea ceremony.
Unlike traditional green tea, matcha preparation involves covering the tea plants with shade cloths before they're harvested. This triggers the growth of leaves with better flavor and texture, which are hand selected, steamed briefly to stop fermentation, then dried and aged in cold storage, deepening the flavor. The dried leaves are then stone-ground into a fine powder.
When you order traditional green tea the leaves get infused into the hot water and are discarded. With matcha, you're drinking the actual leaves, which have been made into a solution traditionally by mixing about a teaspoon of matcha powder with a third cup of hot water.
Because matcha is made from high-quality tea, and the whole leaves are ingested, it's a more potent source of nutrients than steeped green tea. In addition to providing small amounts of vitamins and minerals, matcha isrich in antioxidants called polyphenols, which have been tied to protection against heart disease and cancer, as well as better blood sugar regulation, blood pressure reduction, and anti-aging. Another polyphenol in matcha called EGCG has been shown in research to boost metabolism and slow or halt the growth of cancer cells. Matcha also offers caffeine and L-theanine, a natural relaxant. The good balance of stimulant and relaxant helps you to stay calm and alert at the same time.
Matcha is also hot with chefs right now, not just as a beverage, but as an ingredient in both sweet and savory dishes. If you Google matcha recipes, you'll find everything from matcha muffins, brownies and puddings, to matcha soup, stir fry, and even matcha guacamole. So you can use Sei Mee Tea's matcha powders in any cup or dish you desire.
Quick and easy to prepare - put 1/2 tsp. powder into a cup, and add 6-8 oz of water, hot or cold, and stir well.
