Herbal Cup Teas are made based principles of Ayurveda, where drinking teas hot provide the best health and digestive benefits. However, should you choose to drink our teas cold you will still receive the same benefits as long as you follow our brewing instructions first

Instructions to prepare an iced or cool version of Herbal Cup Tea:

Use freshly boiled hot water. For maximum benefit leave teabag in cup then gently squeeze to release any remaining extract.

After the tea bag has steeped for at least 5 minutes, you may allow it to cool down or chill in the refrigerator. Once your tea has cooled down to your desired temperature, you may add sweeteners, lemon or ice if needed.

Imported Organic Matcha Powder from Japan - 4oz pouch

Yes. Matcha is a type of green tea, and green tea contains caffeine.

Because Matcha is made from crushed whole tea leaves, the caffeine content is somewhat higher than that of bagged tea. In fact, the Matcha caffeine levels can actually equal half the level of a black cup of coffee. When comparing Matcha's caffeine to steeped green tea you receive 31.8 mg caffeine in regular green tea and 68mg of caffeine in Ceremonial Matcha.

Keep in mind, caffeine isn't bad for you in moderate amounts and is actually beneficial in the form of Matcha. It's a mild stimulant that naturally occurs in a variety of plants, beans, fruits and nuts. The caffeine in Matcha actually can help to boost your metabolism by as much as 40%, while helping to regulate blood sugar levels.

Matcha green tea is prepared as a powder and whisked into hot water, a method which releases the caffeine into the body gradually over 6-8 hours. Swapping regular tea or coffee for Matcha green tea lattes will result in sustained energy and increased focus without giving you the shakes or a caffeine crash later in the day. 

Caffeine/Theine:
 

All teas derived from the tea plant (camellia sinensis) contain Caffeine, sometimes referred to as Theine. Because Matcha consists of the entire tea leaf in a powdered form, it is relatively high in Caffeine. The typical serving size of Matcha varies from ½ teaspoon to 1 teaspoon, or 1 to 2 grams of Matcha. Your actual caffeine consumption can vary from 34 to about 68mg, whether you use ½ tsp or 1 tsp. 

All our tea bags are not made from any plastic but are made with sustainably farmed abacá leaves and pulp. 

Abacá leaves (Musa textilis) from the Philippines are a member of the banana family (Musaceae). The abacá tree sends up multiple stalks from a central root to produce thick, fibrous leaves.
