MATCHA is a premium powdered Japanese green tea and a real super food loaded with nutrients. Tea leaves used for Matcha are grown in the shade for about 4 weeks prior harvesting. It leads to high level of umami, low astringency, and intense green color. High-quality matcha can be enjoyed with a more intense flavor as koicha (thick matcha, made with more powder and less water) or in a lighter version as usucha (thin matcha, where less powder is used).
