Description: If green tea had a chill, older sibling, this would be it. We take quality leaves and stems and roast them to perfection, creating a comforting, nutty flavor that’s more "cozy sweater" than "intense meditation." It has a rich, coffee-like vibe without the caffeine-induced anxiety, making it the perfect cup for when you want to wind down, not wire up. This is comfort, ground into a fine powder.

Pairing Recommendation:

• Meal: Excellent as an after-dinner digestif or a relaxing evening drink.

• Food: Pairs well with grilled meats, savory rice dishes, and desserts like chocolate lava cake, crème brûlée, or nutty pastries.

Brewing Method and Instructions: You make it like matcha, but with less pressure to achieve enlightenment. Sift 1-2 tsp (2-4g) into a bowl to avoid lumps (lumps are for oatmeal). Add 2-3 oz of hot water around 180°F. Whisk vigorously in a zig-zag pattern until it's smooth and frothy, then kick back and enjoy your life
