Matcha is a finely powdered tea, made from only
the finest young tea buds. This is quite often called the finest tea Japan produces. The leaves are then dried and very slowly
ground by granite to a very fine powder, which is then packed and sealed immediately, so as to lock in all the nutrients.
Matcha comes from gyokuro leaves that have been steamed and dried. All stems and veins are removed from the leaves. The pure dried
leaves (tencha) are then stone ground into a super fine powder that is the consistency of talc.
Matcha is uniquely Japanese.
