ISWARI 70G. Matcha, the king of teas.

Matcha is a specific type of Japanese tea grown only in the Land of the Rising Sun. It is a Gyokuro green tea, which undergoes a very special process. Matcha is turned into a powder so that the drinker can get the most beneficial properties out of it. Every day, when we drink green tea, we waste precious antioxidants and minerals... How? When we prepare a cup of green tea by soaking the leaves in warm water, we ingest only part of its beneficial compounds and nutrients. The only way around this is to consume the entire leaf. That's why Matcha is the best way to drink green tea and enjoy all of its properties.

Matcha is grown in specific regions of Japan. It is covered with dark nets during much of its growth cycle. In this way, it is stimulated to produce higher amounts of chlorophyll. Gyokuro tea leaves, which eventually become Matcha, are thus particularly rich in chlorophyll. But if we drank only an infusion of Gyokuro tea, we could not enjoy all the antioxidant and beneficial properties of its leaves, which would end up being wasted.

Matcha is selected and immediately cold processed to preserve all the its properties. Our Matcha is grown 400 km south of Tokyo, away from pollution, on lush hills. Once selected, the Gyokuro tea leaves are harvested, and selected by hand before being stone ground. We prefer the culinary variety, which is more bitter and richer in nutrients than the ceremonial variety. Matcha's bitter taste is the result of greater detoxifying power!
