- Ceremonial tea offers enhanced nutrition
- Delivers more antioxidant catechins and nutrients than traditional green tea
- Produced from fresh, young green tea leaves
Second only to plain old water, green tea is the most widely consumed beverage on earth. Unlike coffee, our nation's beverage of choice, green tea delivers a wealth of nutrients and antioxidants. Perhaps that's why it's taken such an esteemed place in the cultures of the East, where people enjoy much longer average lifespans. In Japan, for example, there are entire ceremonies built around green tea... particularly one special form of green tea.
Matcha green tea is a finely milled powder of green tea leaves used in traditional Japanese tea ceremonies. But you don't have to follow a ceremonial process to enjoy its wonders. Our 100% Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder produces a light, frothy beverage that can be prepared to your personal tastes right at home. Because you actually consume the leaves when drinking matcha, this form of tea features even more antioxidant catechins and other valuable nutrients than a typical infusion. Plus, Matcha contains more nutrition from the start, as it is produced from fresh young green tea leaves rather than typically aged, fermented black tea. Swanson 100% Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder is produced from only the finest USDA organic tea leaves for guaranteed freshness and purity you can taste in every cup.
