AIYA Organic Ceremonial Matcha Akashi is a high-quality green tea from Japan that is specially produced for traditional tea ceremonies. The delicate tea leaves come from certified organic cultivation and are carefully harvested and gently ground into the finest powder. This results in a bright green matcha with a balanced aroma that is mild, fresh, and full-bodied. Its gentle, slightly sweet taste with a subtle umami note makes it ideal for preparation with water, but also for modern interpretations in lattes or mixed drinks. Matcha is rich in antioxidants and is considered a natural source of energy and concentration, as it combines caffeine with the calming amino acid L-theanine.
