What is Matcha?

Matcha green tea is a finely ground powder of green tea leaves. The matcha green tea plants used for matcha are shade-grown before harvest and are handpicked after. In Japanese matcha, the veins and stems are also removed and therefore this matcha is adoptive as a higher grade. The green tea leaves produce caffeine and when making matcha the right way it comes together with antioxidants which serve many health benefits.
