Organic Matcha Tea Powder, Starwest Botanicals

Starwest Botanicals Organic Matcha Tea Powder — USDA certified organic, Kosher certified whole-leaf Camellia sinensis matcha, processed and quality tested in California, delivering smooth focused energy, rich umami flavour, and the full antioxidant spectrum of the green tea leaf.

Why

Matcha is finely ground powder made from specially shade-grown green tea leaves (Camellia sinensis). Unlike regular green tea where you steep and discard the leaves, with matcha you consume the whole leaf — meaning you get the full spectrum of antioxidants, chlorophyll, amino acids (including L-theanine), and natural caffeine in every cup. The result is a uniquely smooth, focused energy — alert without the jitteriness of coffee — thanks to the synergistic combination of caffeine and L-theanine. Matcha is also celebrated for its rich umami flavour, vibrant green colour, and versatility — equally at home in a traditional whisked tea, a latte, smoothie, or baked goods. Starwest Botanicals sources certified organic matcha and processes and quality tests it in California, USA, for consistent purity and quality. Available in 100g and 453.6g (1 lb) sizes.
