Premium matcha, which is processed using only premium matcha buds, is distinguished from ceremonial matcha by the size of the ground particles. It is ground with a millstone and has a somewhat coarse particle size and dark green color. Its taste and aroma are also stronger than ceremonial matcha, so you can enjoy a more satisfying green tea flavor when you drink it with milk, yogurt, etc. rather than water.

Matcha contains more polyphenols, a plant-based compound, than green tea. Polyphenols are powerful antioxidants that prevent cardiovascular disease and protect the body from cancer. They also help relieve stress. They are also excellent for controlling blood sugar and blood pressure and preventing aging.

Matcha is tea made by drying steamed tea leaves in the shade, removing the leaf veins, and using a millstone or matcha manufacturing machine to make very fine powder. Matcha is made by shading and cultivating the tea leaves for 15 to 20 days when the buds start to grow, and steaming the tea leaves to make steamed tea, which has a very fine dark green color. Since matcha is made by grinding the tea leaves whole and drinking them, you can consume all the beneficial ingredients of the tea leaves that are not absorbed into the water.
