Due to its high quality and popularity, Isuzu is currently sold out in Japan, highlighting its exceptional demand.
Why Matcha?
Matcha, a powdered green tea, has a higher level of antioxidants compared to brewed green tea because you consume the entire tea leaf in its powdered form. This provides excellent anti-aging benefits and numerous other health advantages.
