Matcha Green Tea

Zojirushi Recipe – <i>Matcha</i> Green Tea

Matcha tea powder is made by finely grinding green tea leaves. It is whisked with hot water and served with wagashi (traditional Japanese sweets). The taste is stronger than other green teas because you are consuming the actual tea leaves. Have fun making Matcha, traditional style, with our recipe!
