Matcha is a finely stone-ground powder made from specially cultivated Japanese green tea leaves, traditionally whisked with hot water into a smooth, vibrant green drink. It delivers a balanced flavor profile of fresh grassiness, gentle sweetness, and rich umami. Because the whole leaf is consumed, matcha provides a concentrated source of antioxidants—especially EGCG—along with a unique combination of caffeine and L-theanine that promotes calm, sustained focus without the jitters. Long cherished in Japanese tea ceremonies, matcha is now enjoyed worldwide as a flavorful, health-forward beverage.
