Starwest Botanicals Organic Matcha Tea Powder — USDA certified organic, Kosher certified Camellia sinensis matcha from China. Processed and quality tested in California. Bulk 453.6g (1 lb) size for outstanding everyday value.
Why you need it
Matcha is finely ground powder made from specially shade-grown green tea leaves (Camellia sinensis). Unlike regular green tea where you steep and discard the leaves, with matcha you consume the whole leaf — meaning you get the full spectrum of antioxidants, chlorophyll, amino acids (including L-theanine), and natural caffeine in every cup. The result is a uniquely smooth, focused energy — alert without the jitteriness of coffee — thanks to the synergistic combination of caffeine and L-theanine. Matcha is also celebrated for its rich umami flavour, vibrant green colour, and versatility — equally at home in a traditional whisked tea, a latte, smoothie, or baked goods. Starwest Botanicals sources certified organic matcha and processes and quality tests it in California, USA, for consistent purity and quality. This generous 453.6g bulk size is ideal for daily matcha drinkers, cafes, and culinary use.
