Matcha is a powder of finely ground young leaves of specially grown green tea. It has a mild and slightly sweet taste and a rich green color. Used in the Japanese tea ceremony for centuries, today matcha is consumed worldwide as a refreshing drink and as an ingredient in various dishes and desserts.
Matcha plants are grown in the shade for three to four weeks before being harvested, after which the veins and petioles of the leaves are removed during processing. When grown in the shade, the Camellia sinensis plant produces more caffeine and tannin.
