Unlike regular green tea, these tender, shade-grown leaves are ground to a fine powder. Instead of being steeped, UMatcha is blended into water and sipped (ground powder and all), allowing your body to take in more of the health benefits that green tea has to offer. This exceptional tea has the balanced flavors of what is referred to as umami (literally, "yummy" in Japanese). Spicy, sweet, bright and grassy, this super energizing blend will add spice to your day. Nice with a touch of honey.
