Origin
Origin: Japan
Province: Kagoshima
This matcha comes from Kagoshima the southernmost tip of Japan, The history of matcha actually begins in China around the Song Dynasty (960-1279), At that time it was quite common to make powdered tea from steamed tea leaves, Zen Buddhists from Japan came across matcha during their travels and introduced it to Japan,
The tea plants used for matcha are shaded using cloths about three weeks before harvesting, The tea plant thereby produces extra chlorophyll and the more chlorophyll the greener the tea and the sweeter the taste,
Matcha is considered a special and exclusive drink not only because it is rich in amino acids, vitamins and minerals but also because this tea has been used for centuries in traditional Japanese tea ceremonies,
