May 11, 2021 It's a beautiful day!
I'm having a cup of Matcha latte from a cute tea shop in Haddon Township, New Jersey. Let's talk a little bit about Matcha, my passion.
WHAT IS MATCHA?
Matcha is a powdered type of Japanese green tea. Matcha is made by grinding only the youngest tea leaves to give it a bright green color and then the whole leaves will be fully consumed. This is totally different from regular green tea where the leaves are just infused in boiling water for a certain amount of time, and then be removed. For that reasons, matcha is proven to provide greater health benefits than regular green tea.
The process to grow matcha is meticulously done to yield the finest matcha.
Matcha production process:
- Matcha is made from the same plants as most other teas like black, green or oolong. However, the uniqueness of how matcha is grown, harvested and consumed are the factors that set matcha apart from others.
- Matcha leaves are grown and kept under shade so it can deliver full amount of nutrient, as well as maxing out the amounts of antioxidants and amino acid.
- After harvesting completely by hands, matcha will be ground by granite stone in approximately an hour. Even though the griding process takes an hour to finish, it only yields 40 grams at a time.
Only 40g of matcha powder are being made in one hour. Matcha Green Tea Delivers Real Health Benefits.
