A Brief History of Matcha
For more than 800 years, monks in Japan have not only perfected the art of the tea ceremony, but also the art and science of cultivating matcha tea. Monks would often use matcha to help keep them alert during their intensive meditation schedules.
How Matcha is Made
The fresh new tea buds are harvested in early spring after a few weeks of being grown in the shade. Shading the tea plants drives nutrients into the leaf and turns the tea leaves a bright, vivid green. These bright green tea leaves are then stone ground with granite into a fine powder making matcha tea. Matcha tea making is an 800 year old tradition in Japan.
