What Is Matcha?
Matcha is a powder made of finely ground green tea leaves from the Camellia sinensis plant. Its origins can be traced back to ancient China. Farmers grow the plants in the shade for much of the time, boosting chlorophyll and amino acids, which gives the plants their vibrant green color.
Matcha uses the entire tea leaf, making it richer in nutrients such as caffeine, theanine, vitamins, and fiber than other types of green tea. You can use matcha powder in tea, lattes, smoothies, and even baked goods.
