Matcha Japanese Stone Milled Green Tea is a premium powdered tea made from shade-grown tea leaves, traditionally known as Tencha. These leaves are carefully cultivated under shade for several weeks to enhance their chlorophyll content, giving matcha its vibrant green color and rich umami flavor. After harvesting, the leaves are steamed, dried, and meticulously ground into a fine powder using granite stone mills, preserving their delicate aroma and nutrients.
