Matcha is Japanese green tea ground into a powder. This tea is traditionally used in the Japanese tea ceremony.
In Japanese it is called matya, and in our transcription it is matcha. They harvest only once a year. And an important feature is that two weeks before harvesting, the leaves are covered to protect them from sunlight. Therefore, the tea remains fresh, and the leaves have a rich dark green color. At the same time, the leaves are saturated with amino acids, and the tea acquires a sweet taste.
After harvesting, tea leaves are processed in two ways. In the first case, they are twisted and dried, so gekuro tea is obtained. In the second leaf, they are dried straight and ground, and tentyu tea is obtained.
The taste of matcha tea depends on the presence of amino acids in it. Higher varieties, which are harvested first, have a deeper rich aroma and sweet taste than lower varieties, which are harvested later.
