Amazing Matcha!

What is it and why is it good for us?

Bright and green matcha tea powder is a real superfood. Green matcha tea, which has been adored and used in Japan for centuries, is commonplace in everyday life for them, and for the rest of the world they only gradually let it in. Let’s delve into all the amazing benefits of this tea and consider whether or not to include it in your diet.

Matcha is actually made from those tea leaves, just like green tea from the Camellia Sinensis plant. The main difference from regular green tea is that matcha is made using the entire leaf of the plant. These leaves are picked, dried, baked, and ground into a beautiful-looking powder. Using the plant leaf and the grinding process, matcha green tea has ten times more antioxidants than a regular cup of green tea.

Only the healthiest and strongest green tea leaves are selected for this tea. Selecting them is a very special and meticulous job. Plants require shade, which results in an increased amount of chlorophyll in the leaves and that is why matcha powder retains its bright green color. Tea leaves are even ground in the dark to protect all of their nutrients.

The mild, creamy texture and sweet taste of matcha is very tasty. Due to this wonderful combination, it is often used in cooking as well. From the preferred recipes for ice cream, cakes, buns, or even soup, there are endless recipes, but the most popular use is tea.
