Matcha is finely ground powder of specially grown and processed green tea leaves called Tencha, traditionally consumed in East Asia. It is special in two aspects of farming and processing. The green tea plants used for matcha are shade-grown for three to four weeks before harvest, then the stems and veins are removed during processing. During shaded growth, the plant Camellia sinensis produces more theanine and chlorophyll, giving the matcha its vibrant color, and benefits.
In modern times, matcha has also come to be used to flavour and dye foods such as mochi and soba noodles, green tea ice cream and a variety of wagashi. In terms of health, matcha is used for enhancing memory, concentration, endurance, boosting the immune system, and relaxation. Green Tea Matcha is also known for helping burn fat and increasing detoxification. It is rich in fiber and vitamins. Matcha helps a persons energy levels through out the day with one cup, and has only one third the amount of caffeine that one cup of coffee has. Our matcha is stone ground, to produce a beautiful vibrant green powder, that can be used for tea or in your culinary practice.
