Simply put, this powder packs power! Made from the youngest shade grown tea leaves, this matcha green tea is a pure and refreshing way to provide a steady energy boost without the undesirable side effects and crashes of other caffeinated drinks. The combination of the “feel good” amino acid L-theanine with caffeine promotes a “relaxed energy” with improved cognition and attention. You also get the added health benefit of very high antioxidant levels. Enjoy this as a tea or latte (hot or cold) or add to smoothies or baked goods. The ceremonial-grade matcha is the highest quality available and is the perfect choice for use in the Japanese tea ceremony or everyday use. Practice mindful meditation as you take in each sip and imagine the amazing benefits being manifested.*

Matcha Tea Preparation
There are several ways to prepare matcha green powder tea. Here are a few:
-Using bamboo whisk and tea bowl
1. Sift 1/4-1 tsp matcha (adjust for taste) into a cup using a small sifter (stainless steel tea strainer or sieve, to remove clumps). This step is optional. Due to the premium quality of our Mindful Matcha, sifting for clumps is rarely necessary.
2. Add 2 oz hot water to start. For best results use water that's hot but not boiling (175-180 degrees F).
3. Whisk vigorously in a zig zag motion until the tea is frothy.
4. Enjoy your matcha tea straight or add additional hot water or steamed milk of choice (e.g., almond milk, oat milk coconut milk, dairy milk). Top off with sweetener such as honey, or other sweetener.
-Simple Shake Method
Use a mason jar, shaker, or bottle when you don't have a whisk. All you need is the container, matcha, cold water or milk (for latte). Place matcha and liquid (and sweetener if desired) in the bottle or jar, seal the lid tightly. Shake for 5-10 seconds to mix well (or until you see a foam layer at the top). Drink as is, or pour over ice. Please note: do not add hot water/milk into a glass mason jar! The glass can shatter from the pressure of shaking and hot water. If you want hot matcha, pour it into a mug and add hot water after you shake it.
-Matcha with a spoon
1. Combine your natural sweetener (like honey or maple syrup) with your matcha powder.
2. Using a spoon, mix the 2 ingredients well until a shiny paste is formed. This step breaks down the clumps.
3. Add hot/warm water and mix well. From here you can drink as it, or add cream or milk (serve over ice if desired).
-Blender
1. Pour cold or warm water or milk into blender. Add sweetener if desired.
2. Place the lid on the blender and carefully blend the drink until it’s smooth and frothy (about 20 seconds).
3. Serve
Another quick method is adding desired amount of matcha to your favorite blended smoothie recipe!
