Matcha Ceremonial Grade 100g
SerendipiTea's certified organic Ceremonial Matcha is Japanese shade-grown tencha (green tea) made from Ichibancha (first harvest) leaves that are milled to a super fine powder. Perfect for formal tea ceremonies & serious matcha lovers.Delight in the vibrant, jade green color & enjoy the mild sweetness of this special cha. Astringency from the catechins perfectly balances the sweetness from the L-theanine amino acids ultimately delivering a smooth, creamy texture when whisked to a delicate froth in one's preferred bowl. Unopened matcha will keep in a freezer for up to a year. Opened bags will keep in a freezer for up to three months without significant loss of quality. Alternatively, refrigerated matcha stored in an air-tight container, or our zip-lock bag, is best consumed within a week after opening. In keeping with our GREEN mission, the packing of our organic ceremonial grade Matcha into resealable opaque bags is done at the tea garden/factory we work with in Japan. 3.42 oz.
