Shōga Neko Matcha is a high-end, first harvest, ceremonial grade Japanese matcha green tea harvested in Mie, Japan.
Ceremonial grade matcha is traditionally used in the Japanese tea ceremony and is grown under shade during the last few weeks before harvest. This increases the production of chlorophyll and amino acids, particularly L-theanine, giving it a naturally smoother and sweeter taste. Additionally, the L-theanine in matcha promotes relaxation and mental focus by counteracting the stimulating effects of caffeine, providing smooth and sustained energy without causing drastic energy crashes and tachycardia.
Our matcha powder is vibrant green, which is a sign of its high quality and freshness.
