A special refreshing green matcha tea powder with high chlorophyll content to relieve inflammation and pain.
Made from ground fresh, lush green tea leaves, matcha powder with a distinctive taste is the perfect choice for relieving inflammation and pain of various origins.

Did you know that the bright green colour is the result of the tea's high chlorophyll content? Fortunately, the colour of tea barely fades when exposed to water, which is why it is also a popular ingredient in a variety of dairy drinks, lattes and cakes.
The tea ceremony or matcha tea preparation
Anyone seeing a Japanese tea ceremony for the first time will be surprised at how much attention is paid to the details. In this ritual, which is thousands of years old, every movement and every utensil has a significance, from the cups to the bamboo mixing bowl to the tea. The star of the ceremony is, of course, the green matcha powder, but it is possible that in a traditional Japanese tea ceremony you will not find exactly the same matcha tea as on the shelves of health food shops. One of the main reasons for this is that the ceremonies use so-called "ceremonial" quality matcha tea, which is different in taste, colour and texture from the matcha tea we are used to. One of the best known types of ceremonial matcha is koicha, which is actually a matcha preparation method that is thousands of years old. The word koicha means 'thick tea': as the name suggests, this tea is made so strong and thick that the last sips are almost scooped out of the bottom of the cup. According to enthusiastic tea lovers, the taste of ceremonial matcha is like nothing else. This is not to say, of course, that commercially available organic matcha powder cannot make a delicious tea. On the contrary! Plus, making matcha tea is much easier than you think! The secret lies in the 80°C water, to which you just need to add half a teaspoon of matcha powder for the perfect taste experience.
