Mixed with water this tea is unique, beautiful and richly flavorful drink. Matcha is generally expensive compared to other forms of tea, although its price depends on its quality..

Also Matcha green tea contains high amounts of theanines, a unique set of amino acids found almost exclusively in green tea. Together with the tea caffeine, theophylline, the two naturally occurring ingredients are thought to work together to help provide mental clarity and energy.

Popular uses include Matcha green tea lattes, Matcha iced green teas, Matcha green tea smoothies, Matcha green tea chocolates, Matcha green tea energy bars and, of course, the ever popular Matcha green tea ice cream and gelato.
