- Q: What is matcha powder and how is it different from regular green tea? A: Matcha powder is a finely ground powder made from specially grown and processed green tea leaves.

This particular matcha from Shizuoka, Japan, is known for its less bitterness and rich nutrient content.
- Q: How do I prepare matcha using this powder? A: To prepare matcha, add about 1-2 teaspoons of the matcha powder to a bowl. Heat water to around 175°F (80°C) and pour it over the powder. Whisk vigorously with a bamboo whisk (chasen) or a frother until dissolved and frothy. Enjoy it hot or iced!
