Our organic ceremonial matcha is from the first harvest tea leaves, and only the top leaves of each plant are processed in small batches by our national award-winning tea master. A few weeks before harvest, the tea fields are shaded to reduce the production of tannins, preserve the rich chlorophyll content, and increase the l-theanine and caffeine content. Our matcha is 100% stone-ground and patiently and diligently crafted, providing you with superior quality and an exceptional experience. Cymbiotika’s Organic Ceremonial Matcha may help with the following: Improves focus and concentration. Enhances metabolism. Combats premature aging.
