Matcha

Japanese tea powder

Matcha is finely ground powder made from specially grown green tea leaves, originating in Japan.

Unlike regular tea, where leaves steep and are discarded, matcha dissolves entirely in water, delivering concentrated flavor and caffeine.

The vibrant green powder appears in lattes, desserts, and ceremonial tea preparation: a matcha latte, matcha ice cream.
