What Does Matcha Green TeaTaste Like?

Due to its high levels of amino acids, matcha green tea has adeep and complex taste, initially bitter but with a sweet aftertaste.

What is Matcha and How Is ItProduced?

Matcha is a high-quality green tea powder with a fine texture.Its tea leaves are grown only in Japan and are shielded fromsunlight several weeks before harvest. This helps the leaves darken and producehigher levels of amino acids. After the best tea leaves are picked, they aredried out and ground manually to a fine powder on a stone mill to protect thenutrients in the leaves.

Although organically grown foods are often considered superiorto non-organic foods, this is not the case with matcha green tea. Unlike otherplants, matcha is protected from sunlight for most of its life, in order todevelop its rich amino acid profile and unique flavor. As such, it requiresfertilizers for energy to grow. The fertilizers used to grow our matcha arehigh-quality, natural fertilizers, although they are not certified organic.Organic matcha green tea powders may carry the organic label, but they tend tobe lighter in color and have a weaker flavor and lower nutrient profile. That'swhy many connoisseurs buy matcha green tea that is non-organic.
