Prepare a Ceremonial Matcha. Please note that in order to brew Ceremonial Matcha, you will need a set of Japanese tea ceremony tools such as bowls, scoops, and a whisk.

• Prepare the tea bowls by warming them with boiled water.
• Get your Matcha whisk ready by soaking its tip in the boiled water in one of the bowls for about 10 seconds.
• Pour the water out and dry the bowl with a paper towel.
• Add 2 teaspoonfuls of Matcha to each bowl.
• Pour 1/3 of a cup of your hot water into each bowl.
• Submerge slowly any loose bits of Matcha that may be floating on the surface of the tea.
• Whisk the tea more briskly in a back and forth motion until the surface of the Matcha becomes frothy.
• Consume immediately. In Japan, it is customary to drink the entire bowl in three quick slurps.

The caffeine content of this tea is MEDIUM. This tea contains natural caffeine found in the L. Camellia Sinensis family. A cup of green tea steeped in boiled water for 5 minutes will contain between 22 to 29 milligrams of caffeine. An equal-sized cup of coffee will contain between 80 to 100 milligrams of caffeine. Caffeine quickly becomes soluble in very hot water. If you wish to reduce the caffeine level in this tea, briefly rinsing the tea leaves in extremely hot water will reduce the caffeine content between 25-50% with only a minor effect on taste.

This tea's antioxidant content is VERY HIGH. When consuming matcha you actually consume all the tea leaves. Scientific testing in Japan has indicated that on account of this fact the antioxidant benefit of matcha can be up to 5-9 greater than with normal green tea consumed in a conventional manner.
