Production process
Matcha is stone-ground green tea powder made from shade-grown tea.
The tea leaves are covered with straw mats four weeks before harvest, which ensures that the plant produces more chlorophyll and amino acids. The more amino acids the leaves contain, the brighter the green color and the healthier the tea.
The leaves are hand-picked, then steamed and dried. After this, the stems and veins are removed. The result, which is called tencha, is finally stone-ground into matcha powder.
Matcha fits into a healthy lifestyle!
The better the quality of the matcha, the higher the content of antioxidants, amino acids, and other nutrients. When consuming matcha, you drink the green part of the leaf, which is exactly where all those nutrients are found. This is in contrast to regular green tea, where you remove the tea leaves before drinking.
Moreover, Matcha contains a quarter less caffeine than a cup of coffee, but due to the slow release of caffeine, it provides an energy boost for up to 6 hours.
This makes matcha and intermittent fasting a great combination. Read more about intermittent fasting and matcha in Blog 11.

Matcha, we have all heard of it, but what exactly is it? It is the oldest Japanese green tea that the Japanese are so incredibly proud of, due to its rich flavor and potential health benefits. It is a green tea powder that is very popular all over the world. This is because matcha contains many nutrients and antioxidants.
The unique way in which matcha is processed ensures that all the benefits and nutritional value are concentrated in this green tea powder. You can drink it as a tea, but it can also be added to fruit juice, yogurt, or a smoothie, for example. If you would like to know more about its preparation and all the potential health benefits, please read on or feel free to contact us. We would be happy to tell you all about the amazing effects of this special Japanese tea variety.
In Japan, matcha is part of the tea ceremony. This ceremony consists of a series of actions performed in sequence to fully enjoy the tea. The goal is to create a relaxed atmosphere, a real "me-time" moment.
Before we move on to the proper preparation method, it is important to know how this type of tea is produced. Matcha is derived from the Camellia sinensis tea plant. The whole leaves are dried, steamed, and then ground into a fine powder. It is usually sold as packaged tea to prevent its amazing properties from being lost. There are many recipes you can use for its preparation. The taste of matcha also pairs wonderfully with things like granola, cake, vanilla ice cream, and smoothies.
The potentially healthy effects of matcha have made it one of the most popular types of tea. The unique way it is produced ensures that all potentially healthy properties are preserved. For instance, a cup of matcha contains 135 times as many antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals as regular green tea. But there are more potential health benefits. Think of cholesterol reduction and stress relief; matcha can also be effective for weight loss. This Japanese tea is perfect as a morning ritual during intermittent fasting, to start the day healthy without breakfast. It is the ideal addition to a potentially healthy and varied diet. The chlorophyll naturally present in matcha powder has a detoxifying effect: it binds harmful metals in your body and flushes them out. Would you like to benefit from these advantages as well? In our webshop, you will find a wide range of matcha products.
The difference between matcha and regular green tea lies in the cultivation and processing of the tea leaves. To be processed into matcha, the tea bushes are shaded so that the leaves produce more chlorophyll. This substance provides matcha with its beautiful bright green color. Subsequently, the tea leaves are steamed, dried, and, unlike regular green tea, ground with a stone into a fine powder. After this, the powder is whisked with 80°C hot water until the substance begins to foam. It can then be consumed.
Our webshop offers a wide range of products. You can come to us not only for matcha, but also for accessories such as: a handmade Japanese matcha bowl, a whisk, or even a complete matcha (gift) set.
