Matcha Starter - Set

Benefits:

The fine powder is rich in antioxidants, which not only support health, but also have anti-aging benefits.

More energy, better concentration. Matcha contains more caffeine than coffee. The big difference: Matcha has a gentle effect. While caffeine from coffee enters the blood circulation within 30-45, this process takes 6 to 8 hours for Matcha, which is a great advantage. This prevents having an adrenaline rush and insulin being released, which puts the body under unnecessary stress. The high amount of l-theanine and other nutrients also have a positve impact on the nervous and immune system.

But first, Matcha and Self Love!

In addition to the Matcha Powder, the set also includes a complementary Matcha Whisk made of bamboo for the perfect Matcha ceremony.

Where does our Health Bar Matcha come from and how is it grown? 

Our tea farm is a traditional company that has been in the family business for several generations and has been producing organic Matcha for several decades. The growing area for the Matcha tea is one of the best and also oldest tea growing areas in Japan: the Uji region, located west of Osaka. The region is known for its clean water and nutrient-rich soil, free from any pesticides. The climate on-site is ideal: the fog from the Uji and Kizu rivers keep the tea plants moist and reduce the risk of frost damage. Tea farmers protect the plants from the sun with black textile sheets or traditionally with straw. Solar panels are also used. This increases the amount of chlorophyll in the leaves and softens the taste. The cultivation is done without pesticides. Soil samples are taken annually, as well as laboratory tests focusing on the heavy metal and radiation exposure, in order to provide the best possible quality. In addition, each batch is carefully checked for its mineral properties. Our quality is verified by strict standards of the organic certification of the Japanese Certification Body JONA and the German Organic Certification.

Preparation:

1. Put 1 level tsp Matcha (2 Chasaku bamboo spoons) in a Matcha Bowl (Chawan).
2. Add a little bit water (about 30 ml) and whisk with the help of a Matcha Whisk (Chasen) until creamy ( Z-shaped movements).
3. Top with the frothed milk and enjoy.

What does Ceremonial Grade mean and how can you recognize this premium quality? 

Our organic Matcha has a Ceremonial Grade, which means that leaves from the very first harvest in spring were used. These are particularly mild in taste and differ in quality (taste and color) from all subsequent harvests that follow in the other months of the year.another difference in quality is the harvesting and processing by hand.hardly any machines are used when harvesting our matcha. The first leaves are picked by hand, gently steamed and ground with granite stones. No pesticides are used in cultivation. Annual soil samples and laboratory tests for heavy metal and radiation contamination are carried out to ensure the best possible quality. In addition, each batch is carefully checked for its mineral properties. Our quality is confirmed by the strict standards of the organic certificate of the Japanese certification body JONA and the German organic certification.

What is Matcha ?

Matcha is grounded green tea in its purest form, but contains more secondary plant substances ( color, fragrance, and flavor) and is therefore better than conventional green tea.

What makes Matcha Powder so healthy is the high content of healthy antioxidants that support the immune system and have anti-aging benefits. Because unlike green tea, where the tea leaves are only brewed in hot water, with Matcha you drink the whole grinded tea leaves. This explains the more intensive taste of Matcha.
