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. This generous 453.6g bulk size is ideal for daily matcha drinkers, cafes, and culinary use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% pure organic matcha powder — whole leaf nutrition in every serving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRich in antioxidants — particularly EGCG catechins from the whole green tea leaf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural caffeine with L-theanine — smooth, focused energy without the jitters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRich umami flavour and vibrant green colour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVersatile — perfect for matcha tea, lattes, smoothies, and baking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSDA certified organic — certified by QAI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKosher certified by Kosher Certification Services\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProcessed and quality tested in California, USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContains caffeine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e453.6g (1 lb) bulk size — outstanding value for daily use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBy Starwest Botanicals — trusted botanical quality since 1975\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIngredients\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrganic matcha green tea powder (\u003cem\u003eCamellia sinensis\u003c\/em\u003e, leaf).
