Matcha is ground green tea leaves from Japan. This traditional, stimulating beverage has been enjoyed for hundreds of years. Matcha has a thicker consistency than green tea because the powder is mixed directly with water. In this respect, matcha is not a tea infusion, but rather an extract from the fresh tea leaf with a correspondingly higher concentration of its active ingredients. If you want to buy organic matcha powder, you'll find absolute top quality with matcha powder from kingnature.
Matcha = Best quality from Japan
We source our matcha powder from Aiya in Japan. This rare green tea requires sophisticated cultivation and labor-intensive processing. First, the green tea plants are grown organically. Thirty days before harvest, they are shaded with nets (see photo). At this point, the plants receive only a fraction of the sunlight. Traditionally, this promotes the accumulation of nutrients (e.g., chlorophyll, theanine, etc.). This ultimately creates the intense green color of matcha. After harvesting, the green tea leaves are briefly treated with steam to stop fermentation. This processing step is called tencha. All stems and leaf veins are then removed, and only the pure leaf pulp is carefully and gently ground using old granite stone mills. The mills grind very slowly to avoid any frictional heat. This matcha powder is by far the best green tea available.
Why is Japanese matcha more expensive than other green teas?
Only 1% of Japanese tea farmers grow matcha-quality green tea. Overall, only 0.05% of the tea grown worldwide is matcha, making it one of the rarest types of tea. Due to its special processing and unique ingredients, matcha is also considered a superfood. 1 This slow and gentle processing also explains the price difference compared to conventional green tea.

How can I recognize real matcha?
Matcha green tea powder can be identified by a stroking test. Only with genuine matcha powder can you draw a straight, velvety line with your finger, as shown in the photo. Industrially produced powder produces a sandy, broken line. This line is brownish, yellowish, or grayish. The original matcha powder, on the other hand, is a rich matcha green. Furthermore, genuine matcha smells strongly of green tea. Its flavor is not bitter, but rather mild.
