Matcha is a special type of green tea obtained from Camelia sinensis that is mainly cultivated and produced in Japan and is currently considered the healthiest green tea.
It has been used in traditional Japanese tea ceremonies for nearly a millennium.
The leaves of this tea are protected from the sun in the last weeks of its growth, increasing the chlorophyll content and creating a stunning green color.
Only the finest tea buds are picked and dried and then their leaves are carefully ground with stone wheels to produce a fine powder.
The powder can then be used to prepare an antioxidant-rich sparkling green tea or used in recipes such as smoothies or baking.
Unlike teas drunk in leaves, this Matcha tea, as it is in fine powder, is not strained before consumption, and this allows us to consume the entire leaf, thus making the effect of Matcha tea more potent and nutritious than other varieties of tea consumed still in leaf. In fact, only 1/2 teaspoon is needed to make a traditional cup of Matcha.
