Why is matcha so good?

To create this unique form of green tea, the tea plants have been shaded and developed a lot of chlorophyll, and are then ground into a powder. This powder is mixed directly into the water to give you all the nutritional benefits in a highly concentrated form. It becomes a full-bodied and bitter vegetal brew, but still sweet. Here you will find a high content of L-theanine and a lot of umami flavor.

• Contains a naturally high caffeine level of 60mg/cup (coffee has about 80mg)
• Caffeine improves cognitive response and concentration
• L-Theanine keeps you calm, relaxed and focused
• Increases metabolism and helps burn fat faster
• Has more antioxidants than any other tea

All these properties combined make matcha a great source of natural energy. When too much coffee makes you stressed and hyper, matcha will give you energy for a longer period of time.

What is L-Theanine?

L-theanine is a unique amino acid that stimulates alpha waves in the brain which are associated with producing a calm and relaxed mind.
L-theanine is found exclusively in tea, but Matcha contains the highest level.

How to brew matcha?

1. Heat water to 80 degrees. Or boil water and mix in a little cold water.
2. Take half a teaspoon (1-2 grams) in the cup and pour over the water.
3. Preferably use a whisk or small milk frother to mix. Alternatively, stir with a teaspoon.

We recommend: Match whisk, electric

Remember:
What will affect the result in the cup is the water temperature and the amount of matcha you use. If the water is too hot, the tea will be bitter. The cooler the water, the sweeter the tea will taste. Our suggestion is the most common preparation method called usucha. You can also make a stronger variation, called koicha, with double the amount of matcha and half the water.

Organic green tea

An organic product is produced in a way that takes the environment into account by not using chemical and synthetic pesticides. It's good for the planet, but also for the tea, the farmer and you. By buying organic teas, you support healthy and long-term tea production.

We are proud to be the largest Norwegian brand importer of organic tea. To be approved by Debio and use the definition Organic, not only must the ingredients be certified organic, but our own plant must also be certified by Debio and controlled by Mattsilynet.

In addition to import controls from the Norwegian Food Safety Authority, we go beyond the requirements by also taking random samples for pesticides/pesticides and other pollutants.

It is important that tea is stored protected from air and light. That's why we sell all our teas packed in tight aluminum bags with a zip lock.
