Heath & Heather Organic Imperial Matcha Tea is a unique blend of smooth organic green tea leaves, offering a well-balanced infusion with a subtle earthy flavor. Naturally caffeine-free, this tea combines the potent benefits of matcha, which is known to be roughly ten times more energizing than regular green tea. The blend includes Chinese sencha, South Indian green tea, and Japanese matcha, resulting in a lively, sweet flavor that uplifts the spirit. Matcha, made from whole Japanese green tea leaves ground into a fine powder, is considered the purest way to enjoy the Camellia sinensis plant. For nearly 900 years, matcha has been consumed in Japan as part of traditional tea ceremonies and is utilized by Buddhist monks to maintain alertness and focus during long meditation sessions.
