Organic Japanese Kuwa Matcha Mulberry Leaf Powder 40g

A naturally caffeine-free alternative to matcha, this vibrant green powder is made from organic Japanese mulberry leaves. It whisks up just like traditional matcha, with a mellow, rounded flavour and none of the caffeine.

The mulberry leaves are grown in Kagoshima, in the south of Japan, where volcanic soil and a warm, humid climate suit the plant well. After harvest the leaves are steamed, dried and finely ground into a smooth powder. "Kuwa" is the Japanese word for mulberry, and the single ingredient is certified organic.

The taste is softer and less astringent than green tea matcha, so it suits anyone who loves the ritual of a matcha bowl or latte but wants to cut down on caffeine. Whisk it into warm water, blend it into a plant-milk latte or add a spoonful to smoothies and baking.
