What is Matcha?

Matcha is a type of Green Tea. The way the leaves were grown and harvested is unique; it;s all done under shade. This Japanese green tea is a powder made from finely powdered dried tea leaves. It has a slightly bitter, vegetal taste and a vibrant green color. It’s been part of traditional Japanese tea ceremonies for centuries, but it recently became popular in the US because of its health benefits.
