Green Foods Matcha Green Tea - 11 oz (312 Grams)
A single serving of Green Foods Matcha Green Tea contains 10 to 15 times the overall nutrients and 100 times more antioxidants compared to traditional green, white, black, rooibos and yerba mate teas. Green Foods Matcha Green Tea is exceptionally potent because of the tea's full potential by using the entire leaf. When tea is brewed, the water is only able to extract a small fraction of the nutrients while the rest remain in the leaves.
Green Foods Matcha Green Tea provides an ORAC of 1,774 units in one single serving.

L-Theanine
Buddhist monks have enjoyed the relaxation properties of matcha for many years and continue to use it for meditating. Green Foods Matcha Green Tea contains high concentrations of L-theanine, an amino acid known to help relax the mind, improve cognition and mood while reducing physical and mental stress.
Chlorophyll
Green Foods' special processing of the matcha plants provides the leaves with high levels of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is a powerful detoxifier that helps eliminate toxins, chemicals and heavy metals from the body.
Special Processing
Green Foods Matcha Green Tea is exclusively grown in Japan by local farmers who cultivate it by traditional methods used for over 800 years. Weeks prior to harvest, farmers cover the plants to protect them from sunlight. This important step helps to increase the chlorophyll levels and turns the leaves dark green. Once it is time to harvest, farmers gently pick the leaves, entirely by hand, and sort them by grade. Ceremonial grade is the highest grade; only the youngest and highest quality leaves are chosen. After sorting, all of the coarse fibers and stems are removed to prepare the leaves for grinding. Green Foods Matcha Green Tea leaves are ground on a stone mill which produces a uniquely shaped powder molecule and contributes to the mild and smooth taste of our product.
Mix 2 teaspoons (5g) in 6 oz. of cold or hot water to enjoy a delicious and nutritious beverage. Be creative - make your own matcha latte, smoothie, iced tea, ice cream or pudding.
