Matcha

Country of Origin: Japan

Japanese green tea powder is used in the Japanese Tea Ceremony. Also for culinary uses – smoothies, ice cream, waffles. A jammy-like smoothness with a satisfying cup and a light astringent finish. To hold the flavor and nutrients of Matcha, refrigerate in a sealed container. Matcha contains higher levels of nutrients than other green teas because the tea leaves remain in the tea and are not strained out before drinking.

Cottage Garden Teas sources our matcha from Japan’s southern region, south of the mountain range that separates it from the dangers of radioactive contamination from the Fukushima nuclear accident. Our Japanese matcha is of exceptional quality. The tea is grown under Japanese supervision by Japanese growers, and production is carried out with Japanese equipment and methods. Ours is medium-grade, with good flavor at an affordable price.  We do not use a “cooking-grade” matcha because its quality is low and its taste is inferior. Good tea costs a little more, but quality demands it!
