Matcha 🍵
My favorite drink
Matcha is finely ground powder of specially grown and processed green
tea leaves, traditionally consumed in East Asia. The green tea plants
used for matcha are shade-grown for three to four weeks before harvest;
the stems and veins are removed during processing. During shaded growth,
the plant Camellia sinensis produces more theanine and caffeine. The
powdered form of matcha is consumed differently from tea leaves or tea
bags, as it is suspended in a liquid, typically water or milk.
