From the Supplier:
For centuries, ivory was considered one of nature's most important materials. Since almost the dawn of human history, it was harvested from elephants, and sometimes hippos, whales and narwhals, for use in the manufacture an immense range of items. At various points in human history, everything from fans and corsets, to horns, statues, goblets, false teeth and piano keys were made from hard white substance. Unfortunately of course, ivory was typically harvested from live animals that were killed only for their tusks. By the mid to late 20th century, elephant populations were on a rapid decline because of the lucrative international trade in tusks. Thankfully, in 1975 the Asian elephant was placed on Appendix One of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, followed by the inclusion of the African elephant in 1990.
Nowadays, unless you're a poacher, and we sincerely hope you aren't one, the closest you'll come to pure white ivory is Elephant Ivory Kenya White Matcha. Manufactured from exceptionally antioxidant-rich tea grown up above the "pest-line", where pesticides aren't required, this Matcha offers a boost of flavor and health that's practically as rare as real tusk ivory itself. To make the tea, the youngest leaves on the bush are plucked and processed, then ground in a traditional Japanese-style matcha mill until it has reached the perfect, densely powdered consistency connoisseurs the world over prize. Like the majestic African elephant it is named for, the cup produced through the process is a truly magnificent site to behold - thick and frothy with deep round grassy notes, Elephant Ivory is destined to go down in history as one of the world's greatest matcha teas.
