Teelixir Organic Ceremonial Japanese Matcha 100g

TEELIXIR ORGANIC CEREMONIAL GRADE MATCHA A premium ceremonial-grade matcha sourced from the Uji region of Kyoto, Japan — the birthplace of Japanese tea culture and the most prestigious matcha-growing region in the world. Teelixir's matcha is made from first-harvest (ichibancha) tea leaves that have been shade-grown for 20–30 days before picking, stone-ground on traditional granite mills, and carefully processed to preserve its vibrant green colour, smooth umami flavour, and delicate sweetness. Shade-growing increases the concentration of L-theanine (an amino acid associated with calm focus), chlorophyll (which gives matcha its vivid green colour), and catechins (including EGCG). Because you consume the entire tea leaf in powdered form, matcha delivers significantly higher concentrations of these compounds compared to steeped green tea. Certified organic. Stone-ground in Uji, Kyoto. Contains natural caffeine (~35mg per serving). Third-party tested for purity and heavy metals.
