Botanical Name: Camellia sinensis

The leaf of the Camellia is grown and sourced from Organic plantations in China, however the process and use of matcha is a Japanese tradition. After the first buds of the plant appear they are grown in shade for around 20 days, which increases the levels of the constituent theanine. Around 88 days after the first day of Spring according to the Japanese calendar, the fresh buds are picked and the harvest begins. As per the Japanese tradition, the harvested buds are then exposed to a short steaming, to help prevent oxidization and allow the young leaves to retain their green colour, and unlike Sencha, they are not rolled, they are instead cooled, and the remaining product is now called Tencha. Tencha is then ground to a fine powder in a stone mill, which gives us the beautiful fine Matcha powder.
