Uji Ceremonial Grade Matcha
宇治抹茶 (Uji Matcha)
Vibrant shade-grown Japanese green tea powder, unusually high in L-theanine.
Harvested from shade-grown Camellia sinensis leaves (Tencha) in Uji, Kyoto, stone-ground into a microscopic green powder and whisked with bamboo into hot water, so you consume the whole leaf rather than an infusion of it.

That is 70 mg in a 2g powder in 2.5 oz water serving — a concentration of 94.6 mg per 100 ml. The scale above ranks whole servings, and servings differ in size, so a larger drink can sit further right while being weaker cup for cup.
