A unique, beautiful and richly flavorful drink, matcha provides an energetic awareness and sense of well-being. The simple ritual of preparing it is both enjoyable and meditative. —Dr. Andrew Weil

It is said that those who participate in Chanoyu, the traditional Japanese Tea Ceremony, find the five senses working at their fullest. At the heart of this revered daily ritual is the famous, fragrant, jewel-green powdered tea known as matcha. Harvested by hand, made of specially grown whole leaves and stone ground with the greatest of care, this 'functional' beverage has been used by many Asian cultures to promote alertness as well as calm and focus during meditations. This aromatic, lightweight matcha body lotion is rich in natural antioxidants plus rice butter and murumuru butter to cocoon skin in protective moisture. Stress-silencing ginseng and hydrating kukui nut, jojoba seed and sweet almond oils replenish body and soul. And the blend of essential oils enlivens consciousness and soothes the spirit to restore the four perfect principles of the Tea Ceremony: wa (harmony), kei (respect), sei (purity), jaku (tranquility).

How to use: Smooth over body from top to toe after bath or shower and savor the restorative aroma.
