Use a bamboo whisk (chasen) to vigorously mix in a zigzag or 'W' motion for 30 seconds, using your wrist, not your arm, to create a fine, frothy foam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, our high-quality matcha can also be enjoyed in less traditional and more main stream drinks as well. It has become increasingly popular in Western culture to enjoy matcha in iced or hot matcha lattes. These preparations provide the same benefits and flavor profile of traditional matcha, but in a trendy new style! An excellent way to embrace traditions with a modern twist.\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"ceremonial-matcha","title":"Ceremonial Matcha - Ground Green Tea Powder","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis Ceremonial Matcha is sourced from the renowned Matsushita Tea Garden in Kakegawa City, Shizuoka, Japan.
