matcha loose leaf tea
Matcha is the vibrant green tea powder at the heart of the traditional Japanese Tea Ceremony, prized for both its flavor and health benefits. Made from the finest young, shade-grown gyokuro tea leaves, matcha is crafted through a meticulous process. Leaves are hand-picked, laid flat to dry, de-veined, and then stone-ground in granite mills into a silky, nutrient-rich powder.
Preparing matcha at home is simple: whisk 1 teaspoon of matcha with a splash of hot water (160–180°F) to form a smooth paste, then add more water and blend until frothy. The result is a rich, invigorating cup packed with antioxidants, gentle caffeine, and vibrant taste—perfect for mindful moments, matcha lattes, or culinary creations.
Our matcha is a Samidori cultivar from Uji, Japan. It is a high-grade Spring (first harvest) tea. The 2oz tin will make about 24 8-ounce servings.

Lore
The famous powdered green tea of the Japanese tea ceremony, matcha is made in several steps. First, the tender young leaves of the Gyuokuro plant are plucked. Then, they are made into tencha, whereby the veins of each leaf is removed and discarded. The remaining leaf is laid out flat to be dried. The final step is to take the dried tencha and grind them in specially created granite mills until they're a silky fine powder. In chanoyu, guests often show their pleasure to the host by drinking a cup in three dedicated full sips.Raw Honey for Green Teas

Has this tea been tested for lead? I understand that matcha often has many times the levels of lead compared to other teas.
