What is exactly matcha?
It is a green tea of Japanese origin, grown and processed in a special way, partly under the shade of a tea plant. In the 9th century, Zen Buddhist monks began consuming it to support their meditation.
Its consumption thus dates back centuries of tradition. It is now spreading around the world and gaining popularity as an important component of healthy life style.
But what does make this tea so special?
The secret of Matcha tea lies in its cultivation and processing!
Prior to harvesting they shade the entire tea plantation for 2-3 weeks. This slows down photosynthesis, the plant begins to produce an enormous amount of chlorophyll and nutrients, resulting in a beautiful green color and leaves rich in vitamins and amino acids.
After harvesting, a short (15-20 sec) steaming is typical to Japanese teas, which helps to preserve the bright green color and nutritional value of the leaves.
Afterwards, the leaves are slowly cooled and dried in multiple steps.
Green tea leaves are ground to a powder. As a result, the cell walls in the leaf split, which can later dissolve when mixed with water.
This is how we consume the whole tea leaf and get all the beneficial effects of green tea!
