Matcha Ise Organic 40g

Organic Matcha (powdered organic pure tencha green tea) from Kii Peninsula near Mt Koya.  This is the authentic grade (and certainly different from the powdered senchas which are often sold as matcha).

Because the whole leaf is ground and put into the tea, it is very high in antioxidants and said to boost metabolism. Traditionally prepared using a bamboo whisk and bowl.
