Jade Monk

eine content, and smooth non-bitter flavor, matcha green tea has been consumed for centuries as a nutritional beverage that provides a unique, calm and focused energy. Unlike other green teas, Japanese matcha is grown under shaded canopies which causes the plant to draw more nutrients up from the soil and into the tea leaves. At harvest the matcha tea leaves are picked, flash steamed, dried with no heat, and then finely ground under large granite grinding wheels at a low friction to preserve the nutrient content. The result is a pure, bright green powder that is nutrient dense and ready to be crafted into delicious Jade Monk teas. A single serving of our powdered matcha teas has the antioxidant equivalent of drinking over 10 cups of steeped green tea but in a convenient format. As soda sales continue their rapid decline due to growing concerns over health risks associated with super-sugary beverages, the matcha tea category is booming. Consumers are increasingly looking toward healthier options with nutritional benefits to quench their thirst and matcha tea in particular has seen its growing consumer demand outpace store-level availability.
