Description

"About Japanese Matcha Green TeaDrinking a cup of matcha green tea is the perfect way to bring a little refreshment, calm, and gentle focus into your day.The main ingredients in matcha are caffeine, the bitter component, catechins, the astringent component, and theanine, the sweet and savory component. Theanine is thought to reduce stress, improve concentration, and make you feel refreshed.Theanine is an amino acid unique to tea, and first-harvest tea is said to have three times more theanine than second-harvest tea. This matcha is made from 100% first-harvest tea leaves.When tea is grown under a covering (blocking sunlight) for a certain period, the formation of catechins from amino acids is suppressed, so the leaves remain rich in theanine, resulting in a flavorful taste.About This MatchaOrganic Matcha from Haruno, Tenryu, Shizuoka Prefecture, JapanHaruno, Tenryu in Shizuoka is known as the ""organic valley"" and hosts visiting tea lovers from around the world.
