Matcha is a special type of green tea that originates from Japan. Unlike regular green tea, matcha leaves are first shaded, then hand-picked, dried, and ground into a very fine powder using mills. The grinding process is slow to prevent the leaves from overheating and losing their taste or nutrients. This means that when consuming matcha, we actually ingest the entire tea leaf of the tea plant (Camellia sinensis) in powder form.
It has a distinctive green color and a pronounced, slightly bitter taste with an earthy undertone. Due to its preparation and use, it is quite different from other teas - not only in taste, but also in how we incorporate it into our daily lives. It has a stronger effect than regular green teas because it contains a more concentrated amount of nutrients that would not otherwise be introduced into the body with a regular tea infusion.
The first records of the use and consumption of matcha date back more than 800 years, when monks in China began to discover the exceptional properties of matcha tea. It is often associated with Japanese tea tradition, but increasingly also with modern habits. In recent years, it has become popular worldwide, both among tea lovers and those seeking more peaceful moments in the middle of the day.
Matcha is not just a drink - for many, it is a ritual, a moment of calm. In Japanese culture, it has a deep meaning and is often associated with zen, focus, and mindfulness of the moment.
It acts as a tool for relaxation because of the way we incorporate it into our day. When we indulge in it, we take a moment just for ourselves and enjoy a great drink. It is also an excellent substitute for your morning cup of coffee - compared to caffeine from coffee, it has a calming effect and maintains your focus throughout the day.
It can be prepared traditionally as a hot tea or latte, but it also goes well in smoothies. In the culinary world, matcha impresses with its color and taste. It can be used in desserts (cookies, cakes, or ice creams) as well as in savory dishes (as part of noodles or salad dressings).
