Matcha is a fine powdered green tea commonly used in tea ceremonies. The young leaves are shaded from direct sunlight and steamed in the same way as Gyokuro, then turned into Tencha (non-ground leaves) by drying without rolling, and finally ground with a stone mill. Its elegant aroma and concentrated sweetness make matcha a pleasure to drink.
