The youngest leaves are then hand-picked, steamed, dried, refined into tencha, and slowly stone-ground into an ultra-fine, silky powder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a smooth, naturally sweet matcha with delicate umami and minimal bitterness. Traditionally whisked with a bamboo chasen in 70–80°C water, it produces a light, frothy cup. Naturally rich in antioxidants, including catechins (EGCG), it is also a source of L-theanine, iron and vitamin A.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note: \u003c\/strong\u003eThis product comes with 50 grams of matcha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca title=\"Bamboo Matcha Whisk\" href=\"https:\/\/thesourcebulkfoods.co.uk\/products\/whisk-bamboo-matcha?_pos=6\u0026amp;_psq=+bamboo\u0026amp;_ss=e\u0026amp;_v=1.0\"\u003ebamboo matcha whisk\u003c\/a\u003e shown in the image is for display purposes only, but is available to purchase separately both online and in-store.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Source Bulk Foods UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56463079211387,"sku":"801116","price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/6442\/8281\/files\/50g_matcha_GnG_a93af671-0af7-4b1d-95d0-2ee4573c37e9.png?v=1790153157","url":"https:\/\/thesourcebulkfoods.co.uk\/products\/gng-ceremonial-grade-matcha-50g-jar","provider":"The Source Bulk Foods UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
