Matcha
Type: Ceremonial Grade Green Tea Powder. Finely ground from shade-grown Camellia sinensis leaves.

Description: This is focus you can drink. We take the best shade-grown green tea leaves and grind them into an electric green powder, creating the key to that mythical state of calm, laser-like focus. Forget the jittery mess of your third espresso; this is clean energy that actually lets you get things done. It’s less ‘Ohm’ and more ‘On.’
Pairing Recommendation:
-
Meal: Best enjoyed as a morning ritual or for an afternoon focus session.
-
Food: Traditionally paired with Japanese sweets like wagashi or mochi. Also complements simple, not-too-sweet treats like shortbread or vanilla biscuits.
Brewing Method and Instructions: Sift 1-2 tsp (2-4g) of this glorious green dust into a bowl. Don't skip this part, unless you enjoy lumpy tea. Add 2-3 oz of hot water at 175°F (seriously, boiling it is a crime and you will taste the disappointment). Now, whisk like you're trying to win a prize until a smooth froth forms. Drink it immediately; the good stuff doesn't wait around.
