Country of Origin: China
Magnificent matcha’s claim to fame is as the superhero of all green teas. Because it is harvested and produced differently to other green teas, Matcha is the richest source of nutrients and boasts the highest levels of beneficial antioxidants.
Like all green tea, Matcha originates from the camellia sinensis plant, but is harvested a little differently which creates its vibrantly green colour. Matcha powder is ground from ‘tencha’ which is what we call the green tea leaves in their entirety. The resultant fine powder retains all the nutrients of the green tea leaves and provides a mega boost of good green stuff!
