Characteristics of matcha

Matcha, which is a 100% naturally derived food, is a very simple food in which picked raw leaves are steamed and dried, then selected and ground. Therefore, the quality of raw tea leaves is directly linked to the quality of matcha. In order to make delicious matcha, it is necessary not only to understand the processing and manufacturing methods, but also to be familiar with the cultivation and characteristics of the raw tea leaves. Yamamasa Koyamaen is a limited number of matcha makers that originated from tea farmers and still have their own gardens. We strive to produce high-quality matcha by consistently performing tea cultivation and grinding.

Matcha is a fine powder of very fine particles (about 5-10 microns), so it has a physical property that it easily absorbs moisture and odor, and is susceptible to fading under the influence of light. In addition, it is also characterized by rapid deterioration when the temperature and humidity are high.

 Matcha ingredients and benefits

Tea has long been described as a good medicine, and modern research has demonstrated its health benefits. Unlike other green teas, matcha tea is powdered tea leaves, not extract, and is taken into the body as it is, so it is attractive to be able to ingest nutrients that are insoluble in water. Even overseas, it is attracting attention as a "super food" along with Chia Seed, Acai, and Quinoa.
