What is Matcha?

Matcha is most premium and one of oldest variety of green tea in Japan – the queen of all green teas.

Since over 800 years Zen Buddhist monks are using Matcha tea as meditational drink. Matcha is very exquisite: only a few dozen tea farmers in all Japan own the extensive know how to produce this tea.

Matcha tea leaves grow slowly in shaded tea plantations. The fresh leaves are dried and milled by granite stone mills into an ultra fine, jade green powder, and finally whisked with a bamboo whisk.

The result is a uniquely creamy, full-bodied and beautiful cup of green tea.
