What is matcha? Matcha originated in Sui and Tang Dynasties in China. After the tender leaves of spring tea are steamed, they are made into cake tea for preservation. Before eating, they are baked and dried again on the fire and then ground into powder with a natural stone mill. The best way to eat matcha is to soak it in water, but because of its unique aroma and taste, it is added to various ingredients and made into people's favorite food. High-quality matcha has strict standards and requirements from tea planting to processing, and has extremely high nutritional value and use value. In the cultivation stage, a good matcha will adopt a unique mulching cultivation method. After the cultivation is completed, there are requirements on the picking time and leaf size of fresh tea, and only tea with high amino acids, protein and chlorophyll content will be used. Picked fresh tea leaves are steamed and dried on the same day to become coarse broken tea. Tea leaves ground by natural stone mill eventually become matcha.
