What is Matcha?
Matcha is a high grade green tea, finely ground into powder form. Whisked into hot water instead of steeped, matcha is the backbone of Japanese tea ceremonies. Although matcha’s origins are ceremonial, it is widely used across the world in beverages like lattes, in baked goods, ice creams, and more!
