The Republic of Tea Double Green Matcha Tea

A delicious, balanced blend of organic matcha powder and organic green tea leaves, this smooth tea pairs well with sweet or savory foods. Sip it hot or iced, and enjoy the fresh, springtime-grassy flavor.
Matcha is the star of the centuries-old Japanese tea ceremony. The tea is prepared traditionally in single portions, whipped to a frothy green with a bamboo whisk. Now, we humbly offer it to our citizens in round, unbleached tea bags. Enjoy the ease of ''everyday ceremony'' as you drink to your health and please your palate.
As you open this tin, you may notice a faint green cloud, a wisp of powder. This is the beauty of matcha which comes from tencha leaves, a green tea that lives under shade three weeks before harvest. Its pure dried leaves, minus their fine veins and stems, are then ground into a fine powder. This powder, which seeps a bit from our tea bags and finds its way to the bottom of your cup, is meant to be consumed – just as in the Japanese tea ceremony. With it, you are sipping the healthful antioxidant benefits of this smooth-tasting favorite.
Founded in 1992, The Republic of Tea sparked a Tea Revolution. They began by canvassing the most prized tea gardens of the world for their worthiest leaves. Their mission was—and is—to see these teas steaming in the cups of men, women and children everywhere, and to emphasize a Sip by Sip Rather Than Gulp by Gulp® lifestyle.
