What is Green tea powder – Matcha?
This grinded green tea, (from top grade green tea called Ten-cha), is dissolved in hot water and whipped to froth with a bamboo whisk. The practice of making whipped teas from powdered leaves, which originated in China, was adopted by the Japanese. It is still used today in the Japanese tea ceremony. It is high in caffeine (helped monks during long meditation), and also a nourishing drink that is high in vitamin C.
