What is Matcha tea?

Matcha powder is made from the whole leaf of the Matcha plant, which is dried and ground into a delicate green powder with a striking green color.

Although ground tea is a Chinese tradition, which was born around the year 1000, it is in Japan that the consumption of Matcha spread, first among Buddhist monks, and then to the entire population.

By using the whole leaf, it is the totality of its components that we ingest in each cup, so its properties are increased exponentially.

In addition to numerous minerals (fluoride, potassium, calcium, magnesium ...), vitamins (A, B, C, D, E, K) and amino acids, Matcha Tea, super-concentrated green tea, provides a high concentration of antioxidants (polyphenols, mainly flavonoids called catechins).
