Traditionally in Japan, Matcha is ceremonially whisked into a frothy brew and enjoyed with wagashi. The health benefits are magnified with Matcha as the stone-ground Sencha allows for consumption of the whole tea leaf. Using a bamboo whisk and bowl, Matcha becomes a thick green brew that is typically enjoyed in a matcha bowl. This tea is known to contain vitamins and minerals, while slowly releasing caffeine for a sustained energy boost without the crash.
