WHAT IS MATCHA?
Matcha is a refined green tea from Japan. For centuries this top product was only intended for the privileged classes. It is grown and processed in a way that produces the highest quality: from fresh and young tea leaves that are traditionally picked by hand (tencha). 2 to 5 weeks before harvest, the tea bushes are 90% shaded by tarpaulins. Due to the lack of sunlight, the leaves make extra chlorophyll and amino acids to compensate. This also provides the deep green color and mild taste. The tencha are ground into matcha, an ultra-fine green powder that contains no stems or leaf veins, but only leaf flesh. The difference lies in the taste, which in turn is determined by the duration of the shading, the size of the leaves, the way of working of the farmer and the growing place of the tea.
