Kuwa (桑) is Japanese for mulberry and Matcha (抹茶) is Japanese for powdered tea. Just like traditional Matcha, Kuwa Matcha is a vibrant green, finely ground powder which has been widely enjoyed in Japan for centuries. Instead of tea leaves, it is made using mulberry leaves and unlike green tea Matcha, it is naturally caffeine free.
 
Clearspring Organic Japanese Kuwa Matcha is made using the finest quality organic and sustainably grown mulberry leaves that are grown in Kagoshima, Japan, where volcanic soils and humid climates make for ideal growing conditions. Once harvested the leaves are steamed, dried and ground into a fine powder which is just as versatile and delicious as traditional Matcha.
 
Kuwa Matcha has a delicious, balanced flavour that is less astringent than the taste associated with green teas and Matcha powder. It is the perfect zero-caffeine alternative if you enjoy the taste of Matcha, but wish to reduce or avoid caffeine.
