	Matcha, Kaze, 20 gram Tin 0 oz. $19.99 This high grade rare powdered green tea is used in Japanese tea ceremony. It produces a cup that is strong, both sweet and bitter, vegetal and invigorating. Sold in 20 gram vacuum-packed tins. Matcha Facts: Matcha makes a thick brew that some say is an acquired taste. It has elements of both sweetness and astringency in the cup. Matcha is made from the highest grade of Gyokuro. After the stems and vines are removed, the leaves are ground into a fine powder. It is traditionally used in Japanese tea ceremonies. Matcha is commonly used as an ingredient for ice creams, chocolates, candies, smoothies, lattes, tempuras, rice flavorings and more! Preparing Matcha: Using a bamboo tea scoop, measure 1 -1 1/2 teaspoons of matcha into a tea bowl. Add 1/4 to 1/3 cup of 160-170 degree water to the tea bowl. Using a bamboo whisk, whisk the matcha until it has completely dissolved and creates a light foam. You can also make matcha at home, non-traditionally, by following the basic guidelines above and by using a small round tea cup and a small kitchen whisk.

	Sencha, Uji 4 oz. $13.42 From a small family owned tea garden just outside of Kyoto, this exceptional Sencha brews up with a taste and aroma that is very fresh, clean, slightly grassy, and very sweet.
