What is matcha?

Matcha is a fine green tea known for its intense green colour, distinctive taste and versatility. This traditional tea is made from the tea plant Camellia sinensis and is popular as an invigorating drink or in creative cooking. Matcha is a central part of Japanese tea culture and is gaining more and more fans around the world.

Why matcha?

Polyphenols: matcha naturally contains plenty of polyphenols.

Caffeine: the caffeine in matcha gives an energising lift; thanks to the L-theanine it contains, many people find it gentler than ordinary coffee.

How is matcha made?

Matcha is created through a process that preserves the natural qualities of the tea leaves:

Cultivation and shading: the tea plants are shaded for about three weeks before harvest. This promotes the formation of chlorophyll, giving the leaves a rich green colour and intense flavour.
Harvest: for this matcha, the leaves are picked at the second harvest. This later harvest gives a strong and intense flavour that is ideal for culinary use.
Steaming and drying: after harvesting, the leaves are steamed to stop oxidation and then gently dried to preserve freshness and nutrients.
Grinding: the dried leaves are ground into fine matcha powder that is especially easy to add to food and drinks.
Origin and quality: the matcha comes from controlled organic cultivation and is processed with great care to preserve the natural qualities of the tea leaves.
Flavour: the subtly tart, intense flavour harmonises perfectly with sweet and savoury ingredients. Matcha is ideal for smoothies, baked goods, sauces and many other creative dishes.
Processing: the leaves stay on the plant longer and are picked at the second harvest. This late harvest gives the matcha its special intensity.
Appearance: the bright green colour is not only a visual delight but also a sign of the product’s high quality and freshness.
