Matcha Powder

     Matcha, originated from China, is finely ground powder of specially grown and processed green tea. 
It is special in two aspects of farming and processing: The green tea plants for matcha are shade grown for about three weeks before harvest, and the stems and veins are removed in processing.
The traditional Chinese tea ceremony centers on the preparation, serving, and drinking of matcha. In modern times, matcha also has come to be used to flavour and dye foods such as mochi and soba noodles, green tea ice cream,etc. 
It`s a special form of green tea:
Matcha literally means powdered tea." When you order traditional green tea, components from the leaves get infused into the hot water, then the leaves are discarded. With matcha, you`re drinking the actual leaves, which have been finely powdered and made into a solution, traditionally by mixing about a teaspoon of Matcha Powder with a third cup of hot water (heated to less than a boil), which is then whisked with a bamboo brush until it froths.
