Matcha green tea powder is a type of powdered green tea. Traditionally used in the Japanese tea ceremony, it is made from the youngest tea bushes every year, which guarantees Matcha’s top quality in terms of smell and taste. Nowadays, it is widely used in many foods and beverages, including ice cream, cakes, bread, noodles, biscuits, candies, and many drinks. Furthermore, now Matcha green tea powder is used not only in Japan, but also around the whole world.
Matcha green tea powder is greatly valued because of it's rich supply of antioxidants and many other benefits. When you drink Matcha green tea powder, you consume all the leaves instead of just soups, unlike other teas. For this reason, Matcha green tea powder contains, certainly by volume, higher concentrations of catechins and vitamins.
The preparation for the production of Matcha green tea powder starts several weeks before harvest, when the tea bushes are covered to prevent direct sunlight. This slows down growth, but turns the leaf an emerald green and causes the rising of amino acids that make the resulting tea fresh and sweeter.
All our green tea powder Matcha has nice green colour and wonderful taste. Used in the foods, Matcha green tea powder will certainly make the foods smell better and taste better, also make the foods healthier to us.
