Our Yabukita Matcha comes from Kyoto, Japan. Yabukita can be drunk straight warm or cold, or mixed into a trendy latte for an afternoon pick-me-up or as a morning energizer. Yabukita matcha is high in catechin. Its prominent characteristics include astringency flavor along with vegetal notes, roasted rice, and butteriness to round it out. Prepping Suggestions: For a straight matcha drink, use 1/2 teaspoon of matcha powder per 8 ounces of water. Begin whisking a small amount of water with the matcha powder. Top off with hot or cold water. For a matcha latte, use double matcha powder and mix together with a small amount of water. Pour over a cup of hot or cold milk and sweeten with honey or sugar to taste.
