What is Matcha?
Matcha is a powdered form of Japanese green tea, made from finely ground tencha leaves. Unlike traditional teas, the entire leaf is consumed in powder form, maximizing its nutrient and antioxidant content. Known for its unique umami flavor, matcha is enjoyed both as a drink and in cooking.

Matcha’s Origin and Production
What Makes Matcha Unique?
The production process of matcha follows precise steps to ensure its exceptional quality.
Shaded Cultivation
Three weeks before harvesting, tea plants are shaded from the sun to increase their chlorophyll and L-theanine content, giving matcha its vibrant color and smooth taste.
Harvesting and Selection
Only the youngest leaves are hand-picked to ensure premium quality.
Processing into Powder
The leaves are first dried into tencha, then slowly ground using stone mills to achieve an ultra-fine powder.
