Matcha is finely ground green tea traditionally used in Japan. Made by grinding high-quality green tea powder leaves, it has a rich flavor and bright green color.

Unlike regular green tea, matcha tea leaves are shaded before harvesting, which increases the chlorophyll and amino acid content. When drinking matcha, the whole leaves are therefore consumed, resulting in a more intense flavor and a higher concentration of nutrients.

Matcha is traditionally brewed with hot water and then whipped with a bamboo whisk called a "chasen" into a creamy drink. It can also be used in smoothies, baked goods, and other recipes.
