Description

Ceremonial Grade Matcha from Guizhou, China, is perfect to whisk with water, in lattes, smoothies, or in tasty baked goods. The possibilities are endless!

Matcha green tea powder was originally made in China 1,000 years ago. In the 12th century, the Japanese adopted matcha, which they developed alongside the famous tea ceremony. Our high-quality matcha grown and processed using the techniques perfected over the centuries in Japan and China:

  1. The tea garden is shaded for several weeks
  2. Harvested leaves are steamed and made into tencha (small pieces of dry green tea for grinding)
  3. Tencha is milled into an extraordinarily fine powder

Matcha may have many benefits due to healthy compounds, including antioxidants such as the catechin EGCG and amino acids like theanine. These compounds may aid relaxation, reduce inflammation, and prevent disease.

Recommended Storage for Matcha:

Keep in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Store in the refrigerator if desired. Be sure to seal tightly after opening to preserve freshness.

Origin

The history of the powdered tea that today we call "Matcha" began and was developed in Buddhist Monasteries in China around 700 AD, when a taste for the health-giving tea became popular with the court and with the aristocracy. The tea’s origins can be traced to the city of Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province, China, where many of the worlds finest Green Teas are made today.

In 1191, a Japanese monk named Eisai, who was visiting a Monastery in Zhejiang, brought this form of tea drinking back home to Japan with him and introduced it to Japanese Monks. Soon after this, high quality powdered tea became very popular in Japan. The Buddhist influence led eventually to the formalized Japanese Tea Ceremony that we know today.

C C Fine Tea’s matcha is made with a very fine mesh size, 1,200, which is the same as is used in the Japanese Tea Ceremony and is of premium quality.
