What is Matcha?
Matcha is a special type of green tea made from finely ground young tea leaves.
The peculiarity lies in the cultivation method: before harvesting, the tea bushes are shaded, which causes the plants to produce more chlorophyll and nutrients and gives matcha its intense green color and rich taste.
Unlike regular green tea, where you only drink the infusion, with matcha you consume the whole tea leaf in powder form, which absorbs all the nutrients in the leaf.

Matcha
Yes, matcha contains caffeine. However, in smaller amounts than in coffee or energy drinks. The effect begins more gently and offers a consistent supply of energy throughout the day. The L-theanine contained in matcha also promotes concentration while at the same time helping to stay relaxed.
Matcha is particularly valued for its gentle and long-lasting energy supply, without the typical highs and lows of coffee or energy drinks. Added to this are the diverse health benefits and of course the unique taste.
- The color should be bright and vibrant green. A yellowish or brownish color indicates poor quality.
- A fresh smell with a sweet note. If the matcha smells musty or very bitter, it is of lower quality.
- When it comes to taste, a good matcha impresses with its sweet and mild note.
- Other signs can include organic certification, an exceptionally fine consistency and a higher price.
