Matcha Green Tea Blends

Filed Under: Bramble Berry News

Green Matcha Tea Powder has been used since the 16th century. It exploded onto the trendy scene when Starbucks came out with their delicious Green Matcha Tea latte in early 2007 and everyone jumped on the antioxidant bandwagon of this powdered tea. True story – Matcha is an expensive powdered green tea that is made from the finest shade-grown tea buds, dried and then ground. It can take upwards of one hour to grind just one ounce of matcha.

We set about trying to make a fragrance that smelled like the Matcha Tea Powder that came in our little Japanese tea ceremony kit. It’s green, earthy and smells healthy. It also makes for a great middle or bottom note in blends.
