Matcha Powder

Clearspring Ceremonial grade matcha is the highest quality of matcha powder, specifically made for traditional Japanese tea ceremonies. It is crafted from the youngest, most tender green tea leaves, ensuring a smooth, rich flavor with no bitterness. Its vibrant green color and delicate umami taste make it ideal for pure consumption without additional ingredients.

Uses: 

1. Traditional Tea Preparation:
   • Whisked with hot water using a bamboo whisk (chasen) to create a frothy, smooth tea. This is the most common use for ceremonial matcha.
2. Mindful Rituals:
   • Often used in meditation practices or as part of daily mindfulness routines for a calming and grounding experience.
3. Health Boost:
   • Consumed plain as a health tonic due to its high nutrient content.
4. Light Culinary Use (optional):
   • Though primarily reserved for drinking, some enthusiasts use ceremonial grade matcha sparingly in recipes like light desserts or premium smoothies, but this is less common due to its cost and delicacy.

Matcha Benefits

   • Ceremonial grade matcha retains the highest levels of antioxidants, amino acids, and chlorophyll because of the careful selection of tea leaves.
