Botanical Name: Camellia sinensis

Origin: Japan, Nishio region
Production: Matcha is known to be the finest green tea in the world. Shade-grown (to enhance chlorophyll content) and hand-picked, it is made from the finest whole tea leaves. After stems and veins have been removed, the leaves (aka Tencha) are carefully stone ground on artisanal granite mills to produce a very fine (5-10 microns) powder which means you are consuming the entire leaf when drinking Matcha.
There are many different grades of Matcha, ranging from ceremonial grade (most expensive and primarily used for tea ceremonies in Japan) to Ingredient/Food grade (more affordable as it is blended with older leaves, resulting in a stronger flavor). This Superior grade Matcha is an excellent choice for a tasty and healthful drinking Matcha with a rich and delicate flavor.
Qualities: Matcha drinkers receive 100% of the benefits of the whole green tea leaf, enjoying and benefiting from its high levels of antioxidants (including the powerful EGCg), amino acids, vitamins, minerals (such as selenium, chromium, zinc, and magnesium), chlorophyll and fiber. Some studies have shown matcha to assist in reversing cancer and boosting metabolism.
Suggested use:
Classic Japanese Matcha tea preparation:

Place appx 1/2-1 tsp of matcha into a small hand sifter over a teacup or bowl
Sift the Matcha into the cup/bowl to avoid clumps from forming in the tea (optional, but strongly recommended)
Add 2-3 oz. (less than 1/3rd of the cup/bowl) of pre-boiled water (~180F/80C)
Using a bamboo (or other whisks), whisk the tea briskly in an "m" or "w" motion. This whisking process aerates the tea, creating a nice frothy layer on the surface
Gently rub the surface with the bamboo whisk to rid the froth of any large air bubbles.
Add up to 6 oz. of hot water to taste (optional)
To make a matcha latte, add some milk to taste (optional)
Enjoy!

Storage: Store in a cool, dark, dry place. Light exposure will fade the powder and lower the quality!

Excellent I now look forward to a cup of this tea daily. The vivd green colour and fresh uncompromising taste are very appealing It actually makes me wonder what I like about coffee. Certainly a very good alternative to another cup of coffee

My go-to matcha

I’ve bought this matcha several times and it’s the only one I’ll drink now! I looked for so long for an organic matcha in bulk — thank you, OM! Please never discontinue this!

Great for the price

I drink matcha nearly everyday and have been buying from the same specialized matcha shop for years after trying several brands. This isn't quite as complex or finely ground as my favourite one, but at less than half the price, I'm impressed! For baking and smoothies, I'd definitely go with this one considering the price. It makes a very nice latte as well! Matcha hack for those of you who like your beverage sweetened: mix your matcha with honey before adding the water. It will make a dark green paste that prevents those little clumps without the need for whisking. Add whatever milk you like best and enjoy!
