The brightness of citrus meets the steady, clean energy of matcha — refreshing hot or iced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy We Pair Matcha with Lemon\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatcha literally means \"powdered tea.\" Sencha and matcha are both made from the same plant — \u003cem\u003eCamellia sinensis\u003c\/em\u003e — but the cultivation is different. Matcha leaves are shade-grown for weeks before harvest under cloth, which triggers the leaves to grow with better flavor and texture. They're hand-selected, briefly steamed to stop fermentation, aged in cold storage to deepen the flavor, and finally stone-ground into the bright powder that gives this tea its energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSencha is the most popular green tea in Japan. The flavor of sencha steeped from quality green tea leaf is bright, refreshing, and uplifting — and like all green tea it naturally contains catechins (a type of polyphenol).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lemon peel is real — actual organic peel, dried — not flavoring. Lemon adds a refreshing zest to tea and a slight tangy taste that combines beautifully with smooth matcha and sencha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Matcha Lemon Green Tea Tastes Like\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🍵 \u003cstrong\u003eFirst sip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright, vegetal sencha — clean and uplifting 🍋 \u003cstrong\u003eMid-palate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Real lemon peel zest — tangy, never sour ✨ \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth matcha umami — softens and lingers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur customers' favorite add-ins:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHoney or a drizzle of agave — softens the lemon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIced with a fresh lemon slice — peak summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA few mint leaves — brightens further\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Brew Matcha Lemon Green Tea (Hot or Iced)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStandard cup:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heat water to 175–185°F (just under boiling).
