Organic Matcha Tea is a delicious refreshing green tea that provides extra antioxidants, ideal to start the day.

The preparation of matcha begins several weeks before harvesting

The preparation of matcha begins several weeks before harvest. First the tea plants are covered to hide them from the sun. This slows their growth and creates a darker green color in the leaves. With this process the tea gains in amino acids, creating a sweeter tea

After harvesting, the leaves are placed on a flat surface to dry. The result is called "tencha". The stems and veins are removed before being ground to a fine, talcum powder texture, a deep green, known as "matcha"

Only ground "tencha" produces matcha. Other ground teas are known as "konacha"
