Powdered form of premium and rare Gyokuro tea.  As in ancient times, this tea is brewed in a bowl and whipped into a froth.  The rich, vegetal brothy liquor is soft with a lingering, natural sweetness.  Caffeinated.  4 oz. pkt

Matcha tea is used in the traditional Japanese Tea Ceremony. For the ceremony the powdered Matcha is measured with a chashaku (bamboo spoon) and is placed in a chawan (serving bowl). Hot water is added, then whipped with a chasen (bamboo whisk) until frothy. The thick, frothy tea is consumed straight from the bowl. For home use, add 1/2 teaspoon Matcha to 8 ounces of freshly boiled water, stir vigorously and enjoy. Matcha ("powdered tea") is a special type of green tea: a precious, jewel-green powder made from hand-picked, high-grade Japanese tea. It is whisked with hot water in a bowl to make a frothy, healthful beverage.

Special Brewing Instructions:
Place 1 level tsp. Matcha powdered tea in the Matcha bowl.  Pour hot water (6-8 oz.) onto tea, filling the bowl 3/4 full.  Using the bamboo whisk, whip tea into a froth using very fast motions.
