Matcha or matcha powder is a type of green tea from Japan. Known for its unique production process and many health benefits, it has become very popular around the world in recent years.

How is matcha tea made?

Matcha is made by grinding tea leaves into a fine powder that is then mixed directly with water. This means you consume the whole tea leaf, rather than steeping it, giving you a significantly higher concentration of nutrients, antioxidants, and caffeine than you would get from regular steeped tea.

What does matcha taste like and what functions does it have?

Matcha has a distinctive, vibrant green color and a rich, umami flavor that is both full-bodied and mild. L-theanine is known to promote relaxation and mental clarity without the jittery side effects often associated with caffeine. The combination of caffeine and L-theanine makes matcha an ideal drink for those who want a calm but invigorating start to the day.

The antioxidants in matcha, particularly catechins like epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), have been extensively studied for their health benefits.

Whether you enjoy matcha as a traditional tea, or as an ingredient in smoothies, pastries or lattes, it provides a powerful combination of flavor and nutrition. Explore our selection of high-quality matcha and discover why this ancient beverage has become a modern favorite!
