Maybe you’ve heard of it; maybe you’re already a fan. Matcha tea is gaining popularity and can be found in drinks like teas, lattes, and shots and also in foods like ice cream, cookies, puddings, soup, and stir-fry. So what is matcha tea? Let’s take a look:
- Matcha tea is a special form of green tea that comes from the same plant, but with different growing methods. - 30 days before harvest, matcha tea plants are covered with shade cloths that cause an increase in chlorophyll production and boost flavor, texture, and amino acid content. - Leaves are hand-selected and then dried and aged in cold storage to help deepen the flavor even more. - Leaves are then ground into a fine powder that you consume instead of discarding them whole like with traditional green tea. - Matcha literally means “powdered tea”.
