Matcha Tea Knowledge

Matcha is a fine powdered Green Tea that plays a prominent role in the history of tea culture. It is believed that Matcha was brought to Japan in 1191 A.D. by a Zen Buddhist monk named Eisai. Once Buddhist monks were introduced to Matcha they began to use the beverage to keep them focused and relaxed during long periods of meditation. We now know that the amino acid L-Theanine, found almost exclusively in the Camellia sinensis plant (tea), is responsible for relaxing the body while at the same time stimulating brain waves keeping us alert. Teaopia’s direct trade Matcha comes from the Uji, Kyoto region of Japan, which is considered the birthplace of Japanese Green Tea and one of the most famous Matcha producing regions in the world. This variety of Green Tea is unique because the leaves are grown under diffused sunlight for 20-30 days prior to harvesting, which increases its chlorophyll content. Our Matcha is created from the finest shade grown tea leaves, which are steamed, dried and then removed of all stems and veins. The dried leaves, referred to as “tencha”, are then stone ground into a powder creating the final product, Matcha. Since you are actually ingesting the whole Green Tea leaf when drinking Matcha, you receive the full health benefits that tea has to offer, in fact approximately 10x more than an infusion of Green Tea leaves.

Matcha is the fastest growing health drink today because of its high antioxidant count and numerous health benefits. To get the most out of this incredible Green Tea, make Matcha part of your daily routine by adding it to smoothies, yogurt, baking, shakes and of course traditionally prepared.

A telltale sign of a superior quality Matcha is its luminescent green colour, which is directly related to its chlorophyll content. Teaopia’s Matcha is bright green with a sweet, fresh taste, signifying that it is of the highest quality. All our grades and flavours of Matcha are beautifully packaged in sealed 30 gram tins, which make them ideal for storage and travel.

Matcha

Teaopia sells two different types of Matcha green tea, one is called Superior and the other is called Pinnacle. Teaopia`s Superior grade Matcha has a mellow and fresh taste. This Matcha is ideal for those who are new to the art of Matcha drinking and is great for adding to smoothies, sprinkling on yogurt, on vanilla ice cream, in cereal and of course traditionally prepared. Teaopia’s Superior Matcha is packaged in a sealed 30g tin. Teaopia`s Pinnacle grade Matcha is hand-picked from the top two varieties of Matcha trees by only skilled hands, which ensures that the leaves are accurately sorted. Although this is a slow process, hand picking produces tea of the highest quality. Teaopia’s Pinnacle Matcha has a sweet and fresh flavour that Green Tea drinkers will love. Our Pinnacle Matcha is packaged in a sealed 30g tin.

My favorite drink is a Matcha green tea latte iced with soy vanilla milk and a shot of vanilla flavoring. In order to make it you need 1 gram of Matcha, put it in a bowl with approximately 8oz of hot water, than whisk the Matcha for about 30 seconds to break it down. After that add your vanilla flavoring or any that you like and whisk again. After that poor it into a martini shaker full of ice and add any type of milk you like (chocolate, soy, 1%, etc..). Shake it hard and drink away! This is a beautiful creation that is very nutritious no matter how you make it due to the extremely high amounts of antioxidants.
