Our Japanese Green Tea Matcha is one of the best matcha powders available in the UK. A blend of premium Gyokuro Japanese green tea and Sencha green tea from Kenya gives this matcha it's smooth flavour and light astringency. Gyokuro is one of the best green teas from Japan. Shaded from sunlight during the plant's growth, the higher levels of chlorophyll present in Gyokuro leaves add to the wonderful bright green colour of the matcha.
Powdered matcha has been ceremoniously used over the centuries to celebrate the belief held by the Japanese that tea is a gift from the heavens and has spiritual and restorative properties. Known as Chanoyu, the Japanese tea ceremony is still honoured today and modern analysis of Matcha confirms how special a green tea this is. For example, just two cups of brewed Matcha have nearly 20g of calcium, and 7 times more antioxidants of the same amount of orange juice.
Matcha green tea powder isn't just kept today for tea ceremonies. As the health benefits associated with green tea grows, Matcha is now found in health food shakes, ice cream, Matcha lattes, bread, and many other foods.
