What is Matcha?




Matcha is a very finely ground green tea, it is milled to the point of being fine powder. (Which sticks to just about everything by the way!) This type of tea is traditionally used in Japanese tea ceremonies. Matcha is a more expensive than other types of tea, so definitely be prepared. Generally, the brighter green the powder, the better the grade of matcha. Matcha should be a very bright grass green, there should not be a dry straw smell, a dark brownish color, or a deep green color. This means that the oxidation of the match has been compromised and shouldn't be used.
