Only genuine Matcha from selected regions of Japan can be rightly called a gem among teas. It is one of the oldest shade-grown Japanese green tree varieties and has been used in traditional Zen Buddhist rituals for over 800 years. Matcha’s very demanding cultivation process and almost alchemist processing result in an exquisite beverage, rich in flavour, aroma and tremendously positive effects on the mind and body. A single portion of Matcha tea contains the same quantity of nutrients as 10 cups of regular green tea. It may support heart functions and act as a physical and psychological stimulant. It helps maintain solid cognitive performance, fat metabolism and healthy blood cholesterol levels.
