What is Matcha Powder?
Matcha is a finely ground and powdered green tea. The tea used to make Matcha grows in the shady misty mountains of Japan, which are almost free from direct sunlight. Incidentally, Matcha is often known for its use in the traditional tea ceremony. The proper cultivation and harvesting of Matcha give it a distinct green color and incredible health benefits.
