What is Matcha?

Matcha is a type of powdered green tea that has its origins in traditional Japanese tea ceremonies. The word “Matcha” literally translates to “powdered tea.” The production of Matcha involves shade-growing tea plants to enhance chlorophyll content, hand-picking the leaves, steaming them to halt fermentation, drying them, and finally grinding the leaves into a fine powder.
