Organic Japanese Matcha Powder | Green Tea Superfood Powder | Latte Culinary Grade

8oz / Organic Japanese Matcha Powder / Latte Culinary Grade Matcha

Good & Super Organic Matcha Powder is grown in Japan, where the tea leaves (also known as tencha) are grown in shade for several weeks prior to harvest.  Latte grade means that our matcha is made from high quality, first harvest leaves.  The shading process during cultivation yields a vibrant green color and contributes to a higher nutrition content. Once harvested, the leaves are steamed, dried, de-veined & ground into a fine, smooth powder.  

The cultivation, harvest, preparation and enjoyment of matcha is an integral part of Japanese culture and revered as more of an art form.  The matcha production process in Japan is meticulous with an emphasis on quality.  A good indication of quality is the vibrant green color.  Matcha that is bright green is indicated as higher quality while matcha that is yellowish or dull in color is to be considered lower quality.  The shading process of Good & Super Organic Japanese Matcha Powder enhances the leaves' chlorophyll, a natural pigment found in plants and results in our beautiful bright green powder.   

A lively green color isn't the only benefit of growing Good & Super Organic Japanese Matcha Powder in the shade.  This shading also contributes to an increase of polyphenols and amino acids such as L-theanine and GABA.  L-theanine

promotes an overall sense of well-being & calmness.  Matcha powder is known to be an anti-oxidant powerhouse that can help with inflammation and support the immune system.  Matcha is also a great source of vitamins and minerals such as Vitamin C, Magnesium & Zinc.

Let's talk caffeine content.  While matcha is caffeinated, matcha's caffeine is absorbed more slowly than coffee.  This means sustained energy throughout the day and relaxed alertness without the jitters or crash.

When it comes to taste, Good & Super Organic Japanese Matcha Powder is smooth and delicious with little to no bitterness.  The unique flavor profile consists of umami and is mildly earthy yet slightly sweet. Latte grade Japanese Matcha is a type of culinary grade matcha intended for use in lattes and baking.  Scroll to the bottom for a quick Good & Super Organic Japanese Matcha Latte recipe.
