About High-Quality Matcha Powder
Matcha is well-known for its unique and bright green color, distinct taste, energy-boosting abilities, and the calm mental clarity it provides. The matcha tea from My Matcha Life® is grown in the finest tea fields in Japan. In particular, we grow our matcha in two regions:
- The organic tea fields of Kagoshima
- The small family farms near Kyoto where matcha originated 800 years ago
Matcha is made from the same plant as other teas, such as black and green tea, called Camellia Sinensis. However, what’s important when looking for a high-quality matcha tea is how the leaves are grown, harvested, and processed.
Prior to harvesting, our matcha tea plants spend two to four weeks under traditional shade covering. Staying removed from the sun boosts their concentration of chlorophyll and amino acids, which is what helps to give matcha its one-of-a-kind taste and beautiful green color. We hand-pick and lightly steam our matcha leaves to prevent oxidation. The leaves are then air-dried, de-stemmed, and slowly stone-ground into an ultra-fine, concentrated powder. This process is the difference between high-quality Japanese matcha and lower-quality matcha.
Not All Matcha is Processed the Same
There’s a general belief that the above-mentioned method is how all matcha plants are processed. However, this is simply untrue. The majority of matcha products you’ll find on the market are not shade-covered or stone-ground. Instead, they’re ball crushed or heat pulverized into powder form, which causes the matcha to lose key nutrients and develop a bitter taste.
That said if you want to enjoy a superior cup of matcha, buy from a reputable company that processes the matcha plant with care, such as My Matcha Life®.
