Organic Matcha powder: a tea with tradition
Organic Matcha powder is finely ground green tea. This is exactly what its name means: "ground tea". It is part of the Japanese tea tradition and is considered the meditation tea of Japanese monks.
Matcha is made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis tea plant and contains numerous nutrients and secondary plant substances. Among other things, they are responsible for its intense green color and its characteristic mildly sweet to bitter taste. The effect of its valuable ingredients and the unique aroma make Japanese green tea so popular. In addition, the typical ingredients of green tea are found in matcha tea in higher concentrations than in other types of tea. This is due to a special cultivation method:
All green for an ambitious start to the day
The tea bushes selected for matcha production are fully shaded before harvesting. This promotes the concentration of the valuable ingredients. In addition to many secondary plant substances, matcha tea contains a relatively high amount of caffeine. It also contains unsaturated fatty acids. The plant pigment chlorophyll develops more strongly due to the shading and gives the leaves their intense dark green color. Tannins develop the special aroma.
The delicate side of tea from controlled organic cultivation
The tea bushes for our organic matcha powder grow under strictly controlled organic conditions in Japan. This ensures that the tea remains naturally pure and free from harmful substances. The tea is also carefully tested for purity and quality in certified laboratories.
Only the fine leaf tissue is used for matcha powder. After harvesting, the tea leaves are steamed, dried and crushed to gently separate all other leaf components from the delicate tissue structures. Matcha powder is characterized by this extraordinary tea quality.
A natural pick-me-up
Caffeine from coffee and tea is a well-known and popular alkaloid that stimulates the brain and nerves. Who doesn't like a deliciously fragrant coffee or tea to cheer them up in the morning? Matcha has a special place as a ceremonial tea. The preparation ritual focuses the mind and relaxes. Drinking matcha tea awakens the spirits and ensures a lively start to the day. However, due to its caffeine content, it should be consumed in moderation and is not recommended for children, pregnant women or breastfeeding mothers.
Matcha alternatives
The aroma of matcha is certainly unique. However, if you are looking for a caffeine kick, you can also use coffee or milder green or black tea varieties as an alternative. Guarana in various forms is also a natural source of caffeine.
Matcha powder in all its diversity
Matcha tea is available in various qualities and can be prepared in different ways. Traditionally, matcha is whisked in a bowl of hot water. This means that it is enjoyed unfiltered with all its ingredients.
Matcha powder is also used for matcha lattes, matcha ice cream, smoothies, lemonades and even baked goods. The food industry likes to use its color as a natural colorant.
Each pack contains 100 g of matcha powder.
