What is matcha green tea?
Matcha green tea is a fine powder made from shade-grown tea leaves. A few weeks before harvest, the plants are covered. After picking, the stems and veins are removed and the leaf, called tencha, is stone-ground.
That's all matcha is made of: the leaf. You whisk it into water and drink the whole thing, which is why the colour is so vivid and the taste has that smooth, umami finish.
