Production process
Matcha is the stone-ground green tea powder made from shade-grown tea.
The tea leaves are covered with straw mats for four weeks before harvest, which encourages the plant to produce 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. Afterward, the stems and veins are removed. The resulting material, called tencha, is finally stone-ground into matcha powder.
Matcha fits into a healthy lifestyle!
The better the quality of matcha, the higher the content of antioxidants, amino acids, and other nutrients. When you consume matcha, you drink the green part of the leaf, which contains all those nutrients. This is in contrast to regular green tea, where you remove the tea leaves before drinking.
In addition, 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 also makes matcha and intermittent fasting a great combination. Read more about intermittent fasting and matcha in Blog 11 .
Matcha from The Matcha Man consists of 100% matcha without any external additives.

Matcha—we've all heard of it, but what exactly is it? It's the oldest Japanese green tea, and the Japanese are incredibly proud of it for its rich flavor and potential health benefits. It's a green tea powder that's incredibly popular worldwide. This is because matcha contains many nutrients and antioxidants.

In Japan, matcha is part of the tea ceremony. This ceremony consists of a series of steps performed one after the other to ensure optimal enjoyment of the tea. The goal is to create a relaxing atmosphere, a true moment of me-time.
Before we get into the proper preparation method, it's important to understand how this type of tea is produced. Matcha is extracted from the Camellia Sinensis tea plant. The whole leaves are dried, steamed, and then ground into a fine powder. It's usually sold as a packaged tea to prevent its wonderful properties from being lost. There are countless recipes for preparing it. The flavor of matcha also pairs beautifully with things like granola, cake, vanilla ice cream, and smoothies.
The potential health benefits of matcha have made it one of the most popular teas. Its unique production method ensures that all its beneficial properties are preserved. For example, a cup of matcha contains 135 times more antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals than regular green tea. But there are even more potential health benefits, such as lowering cholesterol and stress, and matcha can also be effective for weight loss. This Japanese tea is a great addition to a morning ritual during intermittent fasting, allowing you to start the day healthy without breakfast. It's 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 removes them. Want to enjoy these benefits? You'll find a wide range of matcha products in our webshop.
The difference between matcha and regular green tea lies in the cultivation and processing of the tea leaves. For matcha processing, the tea bushes are shaded so the leaves produce more chlorophyll. This substance gives matcha its beautiful bright green color. The tea leaves are then steamed, dried, and, unlike regular green tea, stone-ground into a fine powder. The powder is then whisked with hot water at 80°C (176°F) until it begins to froth. It is then ready to be consumed.
Our webshop offers a wide range of products. You can find not only matcha but also accessories such as a handmade Japanese matcha bowl, a whisk, or even a complete matcha (gift) set. Want to be guaranteed the best quality and flavor, as well as all purchase guarantees and the best price/quality ratio? The Matcha Man is your ideal online tea shop.
