Forest Japanese Ceremonial Grade Matcha – Elevate Your Mind & Body

Forest Japanese Ceremonial Grade Matcha is sourced from the finest, hand-picked green tea leaves grown in Japan’s shaded fields. Unlike culinary or lower-grade matcha, our ceremonial grade matcha is carefully processed to preserve its rich flavor and high concentration of antioxidants, L-theanine, and chlorophyll. It provides a smoother, more vibrant taste and a focused, sustained energy boost without the jitteriness associated with lower-quality matcha.

Matcha contains both caffeine and L-theanine, an amino acid that promotes relaxation and focus. While caffeine provides an energy boost, L-theanine helps balance its effects, creating a calm, sustained alertness rather than the sharp, rapid energy spikes followed by crashes that coffee can cause. This synergy results in a smoother, more focused energy that lasts for hours.

Yes, matcha is known to boost metabolism due to its high concentration of catechins, particularly EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate). These antioxidants help accelerate fat oxidation and increase calorie burning, making it a great addition to a healthy diet and exercise routine for weight management. Additionally, matcha promotes healthy digestion, which is crucial for maintaining a balanced weight.

Yes, while matcha does contain caffeine, the presence of L-theanine helps mitigate the effects of caffeine, providing a balanced and sustained energy boost without the jitters. If you are sensitive to caffeine, it’s best to start with a smaller amount to see how your body reacts. The calming effect of L-theanine may even help some people tolerate caffeine better than they would with coffee.

For the best experience, sift 1-2 teaspoons of matcha powder into a bowl. Add 2-3 ounces of hot water (not boiling—around 175°F or 80°C) and whisk briskly in a "W" motion until frothy. For a stronger flavor, you can use less water or add more matcha. You can also mix it into smoothies or lattes for a delicious twist. The powder dissolves quickly, so preparation is simple and quick.

Absolutely! Forest Matcha is versatile and can be mixed with various ingredients to enhance both its flavor and nutritional profile. You can add a splash of almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk for a creamy matcha latte, or mix it with honey, ginger, or cinnamon for a flavorful twist. It’s also great in smoothies, adding a nutrient boost to your favorite fruits and veggies.
