What Is Matcha?
Matcha's origins can be traced back to 12th century Japan. Most matcha powder we see in the shops today has been grown and produced in Japan.
Matcha is made from pure green tea leaves ground into a fine, bright green powder. High-quality matcha is known for its health benefits, including being packed full of antioxidants and amino acids.
