Yamamotoyama, a long-established tea maker loved by people since the Edo Period, produced the long-awaited Nihonbashi-bijin Shizuoka Green Tea Powder. The members of the development team, including women, placed the highest importance on using 100% Shizuoka green tea leaves of very high quality. The fresh flavor and mild sweetness of Nihonbashi-bijin Shizuoka Green Tea Powder comes from selecting green tea leaves cultivated without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers and harvested first in the spring of the year in gorges between the mountains of Shizuoka, which is enveloped in a morning mist. Sen-cha (green tea of medium quality), the raw material for this product, contains vitamin C to prevent freckles and skin roughness for a lively, more beautiful skin than from gyokuro (green tea of the highest quality) or maccha (powdered green tea). Sen-cha contains catechin, which is an antioxidant, minerals, and dietary fibers for health and beauty.

In addition, this product uses powdered sen-cha, so the insoluble nutrients of vitamin E and the dietary fibers can be taken whole, which is different from the green tea leaves for brewing in a pot. If you dissolve less than 1/2 tea spoon of the green tea powder in hot water in a cup, you can make green tea quickly like instant coffee, so it is suitable for busy women taking a short break. The tea is also useful for unexpected visitors at home or the office. In addition, you can use the tea for dishes and desserts, such as a topping for ice cream and yogurt, or an ingredient in the batter for tempura because the powdered green tea has a pleasant flavor.
