WHAT IS MATCHA?
1 - What is the difference between matcha and green tea?
Matcha is a type of green tea; it is a finely ground powder of specially grown and processed green tea leaves (watch how we make our matcha in the video below). Matcha is considered a more powerful version of regularly brewed green tea; instead of steeping and removing the tea bag, one would be consuming the entire tea leaf that was ground up into fine powder. Matcha is the favorite of centuries-old Japanese tea ceremonies, and its pleasant taste and health benefits make it a favorite of many tea-lovers today. Matcha powder is whisked in a bowl with hot water to create a frothy, bright green, and nourishing beverage.
​
2- What makes Japanese matcha different?
While green tea is harvested in many regions throughout the world, Japan produces the highest quality matcha. China has introduced tea to Japan in the 7th century, but since then, a unique tea culture has evolved and lead to matcha. Also, Japan has one of the strictest farming regulations in the world.
​
3- What are the health benefits of matcha?
Matcha is believed to have many benefits, such as being a rich source of antioxidants, a metabolism booster, and having the ability to increase endurance and promoting focus. Please check this article for more details and for research behind those presumed benefits.
​
7- What does matcha taste like?
This greatly depends on the quality of the matcha you are drinking. With excellent quality matcha, you should expect vegetal grassy notes, subtle sweet nuttiness, and pleasant bitter undertones if any. When matcha is prepared right, using the proper grade, it will have an irresistible flavor.
