A new year means a new product offering! We're excited to introduce matcha green tea as the latest coffee alternative to join our robust menu.

WHAT IS MATCHA GREEN TEA?

Matcha is shade-grown, green tea leaves that are stone-ground into a fine powder. The result is a powerhouse beverage that is rich in antioxidants and other key nutrients. Its flavor is distinct with vegetal notes and a slightly sweet smoothness. Additional benefits of matcha powder include:

• Gluten free
• Vegan
• Lower in sugar (4 grams per TBSP serving)
• Lower in calories (35 calories per TBSP serving)
• Clean product (only 4 ingredients)
• Full of antioxidants
• May boost energy (40-60mg of caffeine per rounded TBSP serving)
