What is Matcha?

If you're new to matcha, you're in for an exciting journey!

Matcha is a finely ground powder made from specially grown and processed green tea leaves. It originates from Japan, where it has been used for centuries in the traditional tea ceremony. Unlike regular green tea, where the leaves are steeped and discarded, matcha involves consuming the entire leaf, ground into a vibrant green powder. This gives matcha its rich, earthy flavor with a slightly sweet, vegetal taste and a creamy, smooth texture.

Matcha is made from shade-grown, handpicked leaves that are carefully stone-ground into powder. The shading process boosts the production of chlorophyll and amino acids like L-theanine, giving matcha its signature vibrant color and mellow, umami flavor. Packed with antioxidants and natural caffeine, matcha provides a calm, focused energy and promotes relaxation without drowsiness. Its unique balance of energy and mindfulness has made it a popular choice worldwide.
