Kenya White Rhino Matcha Loose Tea Leaf

Savor a smooth, crisp, and flavorful green and white tea blend brought by this Kenya White Rhino Matcha Loose Tea Leaf. A cup of this brewed tea offers thick, rich, and sultry hints of grass with mild floral notes of the Oolong tea. This blend gets its name after the majestic grey animal that wanders around the biodiversity of the woodlands and grasslands of Kenya, where this tea originated. This Matcha is rich in antioxidants, polyphenols, and fresh flavorings, packed with the freshest leaves that are harvested, formed, and delicately pounded with the conventional stone mill to bring in its outstanding smooth consistency.

Enjoy this tea in different ways:

Prepare your dring using the hot tea brewing method. Set purified or newly-drawn water to a rolling boil and let it cool to approximately 180 degrees Fahrenheit or 82 degrees Celsius. Place a teaspoon of Matcha in your cup and infuse it with 8 oz. or 250 ml. of water. Stir the mixture briskly and enjoy its luscious taste.

To make a Ceremonial Matcha, please note that you will need a set of Japanese tea ceremony tools, such as bowls, scoops, and a whisk, to brew this tea using this procedure. Prepare the tea bowls first by warming them with boiled water. Cast the tip of your Matcha whisk in the boiled water from one of the bowls, and soak it for about 10 seconds. Drain the water out and dry the bowl with a paper towel. Put two teaspoonfuls of Matcha into each bowl and pour one-third of a cup of the prepared hot water into it. Submerge any loose bits of Matcha that may be floating on the surface of the tea in slow motion. Whisk the tea more briskly in a back and forth motion until the surface of the Matcha becomes frothy. Drink the infused tea right away in three quick gulps.

Try the hot Matcha latte fast brewing method. Use one-half teaspoon (1 g.) per 8 oz. (225 ml.) serving. Add one-half teaspoon (1 g.) to the base of the cup and add 2 oz. of hot water. Mix the blend vigorously to make a smooth paste-like liquid. Top it up with freshly steamed milk and sweeten it to taste by pouring maple syrup or honey.

Make a cool drink with the iced Matcha latte brewing methods. Use one-half teaspoon (1 g.) per 8 oz. (225 ml.) serving. Add one-half teaspoon (1 g.) to the base of the cup and add 2 oz. of hot water. Mix the blend vigorously to make a smooth paste-like liquid. Top it up with freshly steamed milk and sweeten it to taste by pouring maple syrup or honey. Let it cool down for 30 to 60 minutes and pour ice into your cup.

Have a lot of time? Then, make this slow brewed iced Matcha. Place 3 level teaspoons of Matcha into a glass pitcher. Fill the pitcher with ice and let it sit for a few hours. When the ice has melted and the tea brewed, stir it vigorously to ensure the Matcha goes into suspension. Pour over ice once again into the infusion and devour a cup of its magnificent blend.

Add a spicy note to this drink by making a Matcha ginger tea with crushed ice and lime. Prepare these ingredients: 2 level teaspoons of Matcha, 2 tablespoons of chopped ginger, one-half cup of ice, juice of one-half lime, and a dash of honey. Blend the ice, Matcha, and ginger in a blender until the ice is crushed. Pour the mixture into a chilled glass, then add the lime juice and honey to enhance the flavor.

This tea blend is available in three sizes. To order, please select from the options above.

The caffeine content of this tea is LOW. This tea contains natural caffeine found in the L. Camellia Sinensis family. A cup of black tea steeped in boiled water for 5 minutes will contain between 27 to 35 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.

The caffeine content of this tea is SUPER HIGH. You tend to drink up a matcha tea with all the tea leaves from the brewed cup. Based on scientific testing in Japan, the antioxidant properties of matcha tea can be up to 5-9 times greater than the usual green tea, taken in the traditional brew. Matcha made from high altitude teas such as Kenya green tea or Kenya white tea has some of the highest antioxidant levels recorded for tea that is considerably more than the Japan green tea.
