How It’s Made
The leaves are then hand-picked and go through a strict process of being steamed, dried, destemmed and deveined, before being ground into a fine powder. While this process is traditionally completed with a stone mill or a mortar and pestle, machines are now often used to mass produce the delicious powder that we know and love — Matcha!

How Do
I Use it?
As matcha is highly concentrated, a little goes a long way. It can seem costly compared to regular green tea, but its benefits reflect its price tag. Our suggested serving size is Vz teaspoon (1.5g). We have a special matcha spoon HERE if you need.
The traditional ceremonial preparation requires a whisk and a time-consuming process. Our matcha has been carefully selected to be more accessible and convenient, so you can use a whisk if desired or simply dissolve in a dash of WARM water to form a paste and then add boiling water (for a plain tea), warm milk (for a latte) or mix it in with other ingredients depending on the recipe (see here for some of our favourites).
