Pure Leaf' Launches Home Brewed Matcha Teas

Sourced from Rainforest Alliance Certified tea estates in Kagoshima, Japan, the two new Matcha offerings from Pure LeafPure Matcha and Matcha with Gingerare available in pre-portioned, individually wrapped sachets to give tea lovers a perfect cup of Matcha every time.

To ensure its genuine tea essence shines through, Pure Leaf Matcha is expertly crafted from high-quality tea leaves that are simply shade-grown, plucked, dried and ground for a full-bodied, smooth taste. The high-quality herbs and spices found in Matcha with Ginger are specially selected and blended with the fine Matcha powder for a delicious ginger kick.
