Mulberry Leaf Matcha

Description

This Japanese mulberry leaf powder may not be macha, but it’s a wonderful caffeine-free alternative. It can be use to make traditional macha-based drinks such as Usucha or Koicha or blended with milk for latte. A traditional component in traditional Chinese medicine, mulberry leaf powder may also have a number of promising physical benefits. Most important to adventurers, however, is the fact the way this powder has retained its vibrant color and phytochemicals through a low-temperature grinding process.
