What is Matcha?!
Matcha is not just tea – it is a tradition, an experience, and a lifestyle. Originating in Japan over 800 years ago, Matcha has been at the center of Zen monks’ meditation rituals and Japanese tea ceremonies. Unlike regular green tea, where the leaves are steeped and discarded, Matcha is a finely ground powder made from whole shade-grown tea leaves. This means you consume 100% of the leaf – and with it, all of its natural goodness.
The Origin of True Japanese Matcha
The journey of Matcha begins in carefully selected tea gardens in Japan, where tea bushes are shaded for several weeks before harvest. This unique method increases the chlorophyll levels in the leaves, giving Matcha its vibrant green color and a higher concentration of nutrients. After hand-picking, the leaves are gently steamed, dried, and stone-ground into the fine, silky powder we know as Matcha.
