1. What is Matcha? Matcha is a unique food. To be precise, it should be a food ingredient. It is made from natural tea leaves. After people collect fresh tea leaves every spring, they are steamed and made into green tea.
The round product is stored. Before using matcha, the tea cake needs to be baked over fire, and then ground into powder using a natural stone mill. The green powder obtained at this time is matcha.
High-quality matcha powder is dark green or dark green. It has a salty smell of grass and seaweed. It is not astringent but has a slightly bitter taste. Those powders directly ground from green tea do not have this characteristic.
Therefore, matcha powder is not the same as green tea powder, and everyone must distinguish this.
