Matcha

Over a millennium ago, Japanese tea farmers began crafting a powdered green tea made from the whole leaf and renowned for its health benefits. They called this creation "matcha!" Throughout its existence, Zen monks have celebrated it for its ability to help them focus during long periods of sitting meditation. Samurai warriors partook of it before battle to gain mental alertness and clarity and today, many people from around the world enjoy a bowl of matcha for the pleasure its preparation provides as well as its positive effects on mood, energy, and general well being.
