What is Matcha?

Matcha is a type of powdered green tea, made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, the same plant species used to make black tea, oolong tea, white tea and other types of green tea.

Matcha tea has been consumed by the Japanese for thousands of years for its antioxidant properties and is an important component of the traditional Japanese tea ceremony.

The process of obtaining Matcha powder is complex and different from the one used to obtain regular green tea.

Before being harvested, the plants to be used for the production of Matcha powder are shaded for a certain period of time. The purpose is to increase the content of chlorophyll and amino acids (amino acids are organic molecules essential for the construction of proteins in the human body, their "building blocks").

The green tea leaves are then carefully selected, quickly steamed, dried and very finely ground. This Matcha powder can then be used to make tea and other delicious drinks.

Suggestion for preparing Matcha tea:

- add 1 teaspoon of matcha to a cup (you can increase or decrease the dose of matcha in the tea to your own taste), over which pour hot water, close to boiling point;

- mix well, ideally with a special wooden device for matcha, but in its absence a teaspoon can be used;

- serve hot.

Recommended utensils: Bamboo whisk for matcha tea
