Caffeine addicts, rejoice! Matcha has three times as much caffeine as regular green tea, putting it in the same level as a cup of coffee. However, unlike the often unpleasant buzz and headaches that coffee can cause, matcha creates an “alert calm” due to its I-theanine levels and its slower absorption into your body.And remember: if it's Bodhi, it’s organic.
The bamboo whisk (chasen) was invented centuries ago for the purpose of bringing matcha tea to life. It is uniquely suited to create the distinct frothy texture matcha requires, and the delicate bamboo prongs do so without harming your tea bowl. The tea spoon (chashaku) is perfect for measuring out matcha powder and scooping tea out of a matcha tea bag. And for the same reason we drink wine in stemware, the matcha bowl (chawan) is the best vessel for observing and celebrating the taste, aroma, and color of your matcha tea.
Thick-style tea is delicately blended into a sweet froth and natural flavors. Our USDA certified organic, ceremonial matcha green tea is made from handpicked, shade-cultivated leaves which are lightly steamed, air dried, de-stemmed and finely ground on centuries-old stone mills.
