Pomegranate Berry Delight Matcha - Large Size

Matcha is concentrated green tea, ground up into a powder. It is absolutely packed with antioxidants, polyphenols, and catechins which are compounds that come from the tea leaf and are important in reducing oxidative stress in the cells of the body. Like any green tea, matcha helps to remove harmful toxins and free radicals in the body. But when you drink matcha you are drinking the entire tea leaf, and not just steeping the tea leaves as you would in most green teas. So it is high in chlorophyll, amino acids and has more than 100 times the antioxidants as regular green tea! Not all matcha is created equal however. Cheap matcha often doesn’t have much flavor. Our matcha blends are made with organic matcha, and we never use low grade leaves.

We recommend an electric whisk (milk frother) or traditional Japanese whisk to make matcha to allow it to dissolve and mix well. Additionally, whisking it well can give certain matcha's some frothiness. In a pinch you can try to mix it with another utensil, but it's more difficult to get a uniform flavor.

Some grades of matcha can taste a little bitter when on their own. But our Pomegranate Delight Matcha is sweet! It has no bitterness but instead has all the health benefits of organic matcha.

Yes, matcha has a bit more caffeine than regular green tea, because it is so concentrated. But caffeine in whole leaf teas, or matcha cannot be compared to the caffeine that is in coffee. While coffee can release a sudden increase in energy, followed by a decrease in energy, caffeine in tea leaves is released more evenly, and does not have the spike and sudden drop of regular coffees. Some high quality teas can even be consumed in the evening without disrupting sleep.
