What is Matcha?

Matcha is a form of Green Tea which comes from the leaves of the camellia sinensis plant. 

Unlike other varieties of Green Tea, Matcha  is made from the whole plant leaf.

The leaves are grown using a traditional shading method which enhances the amount of bio-active compounds which gives Matcha its health promoting benefits. These include higher concentrations of antioxidants, chlorophyll, caffeine, L-theanine (an amino acid) and numerous plant polyphenols, the most abundant of which being Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG).

Once  harvested, the leaves are steamed to retain its nutritional potency then carefully dried and ground into powder form.

Matcha has been part of Japanese traditional tea ceremonies for thousands of years and today many drink it as a healthier alternative to drinks such as coffee.

For some, the unique  combination of caffeine with L-theanine has been reported to provide a more calm steady boost of energy and mental clarity. For others its consumed to improve overall feelings of well being.
