Steenbergs Organic Matcha Tea is grown in the Nishio area of Japan, the traditional heartland of Matcha Tea growing.  Organic Matcha Tea has been a traditional drink for Japanese Zen Buddhist monks and the Japanese Imperial Family for hundreds of years.

Matcha tea leaves are grown in a way that produces extra amounts of chlorphyll and natural amino acids through growing the tea plants under cover.  When these special Organic Matcha Tea Leaves are picked, they are then ground down to a bright green fine powder. 

Each tin comes with a screw top lid and a keep fresh pull (can style) inner lid.

Organic Matcha Tea is highly regarded for its health properties due to its relatively high levels of antioxidants, minerals, vitamins and nutrients.

Ingredients: organic green tea powder

How to prepare: Preheat the matcha bowl with hot water and place the whisk with prongs facing down into the water to wet them.   Set the wet whisk aside and measure out 70ml (approx. 2.3oz) of hot water into a measuring cup and leave to cool.   Measure about 1tsp of Steenbergs organic matcha tea powder and place it into the bowl.  Once the water drops to 70-80C/158-176F, pour into the matcha bowl.  Using the whisk, whisk in a zig-zag motion until the matcha has a thick froth with many tiny bubbles on the surface.
