Organic Traditions Ceremonial Matcha Tea

Organic Traditions Ceremonial Matcha Tea -For centuries, Japanese Ceremonial Matcha has been the most revered green tea in the world. Traditionally used in the daily diet, in medicinal preparations and for ceremonial purposes, it is said that Zen buddist monks consumed Matcha for facilitating meditation, health and longevity.

Organic Traditions Ceremonial Matcha is the highest quality grade Matcha. Organic Japanese, young Tencha, shade grown buds are handpicked and ground into a fine, jade colored powder in order to preserve the true taste, aroma and nutrients. One serving of Matcha is equivalent to drinking 10 cups of regular green tea.

We have taken great care to ensure optimal stability by packing our Matcha in Miron glass, the most protective packaging available for products that are highly sensitive to oxidative damage. Nutritional integrity, protection and freshness of Matcha’s vital constituents are of primary importance.

Usage Instructions

Place ½ -1 teaspoon of Organic Traditions Organic Ceremonial Matcha in a large, wide mouthed bowl. Heat up water between 65-85°C (or 150-185°F). Boiling water should never be used as it degrades the delicate compounds of the tea. If you do not have a thermometer, test with your finger until the water is warm but not hot. Pour a small amount of water into the bowl (roughly 2 ounces) and using a small stainless steel whisk, a traditional bamboo whisk or a spoon, quickly whisk the contents until all the powder is incorporated into the water creating a frothy green paste. Add more water. Depending on how strong and concentrated you would like your tea to be, add anywhere from 2-6 ounces. Enjoy as is or add a teaspoon of Organic Traditions Yacon Syrup or Organic Traditions Coconut Palm Sugar to sweeten. Add 1-2 tsp. of Natural Traditions Rice Bran and Germ Powder for a creamy, non dairy version.
