MATCHA TIME
A time to connect 🌿
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.
The traditional
Japanese tea ceremony centers on the
preparation, serving and drinking of matcha as hot tea, and embodies a
meditative spirituality.
