Much has been made of the amazing health benefits linked to this concentrated form of green tea. Green tea originally made its way from China to Japan in the 111 century.

One of the main benefits to drinking Matcha over other forms of green tea is the fact that with Matcha the whole leaf is finely ground so when you drink Matcha you are actually consuming the entire leaf.

When you brew conventional green teas, you discard the leaves once you have finished brewing them. Few people realise that much of the goodness contained in the tea leaves actually remains in the leaf even after brewing. This means that when you dispose of the tea leaves after use, you are actually wasting a lot of the goodness inherent in the tea.

From this point of view our powdered teas offer a great solution as they, much like Matcha, are the product of grinding the whole tea leaf into a fine powder. It is this consumption of the whole leaf that gives people the concentrated health boost they are after.

Although green tea is harvested from the same Camellia Sinensis plant as typical black tea, Japanese green tea is steamed to prevent the oxidation of the leaves after harvest and therefore it remains green in colour.

It is this process which helps green tea retain many of its natural antioxidant and antiviral qualities.
