Buddhist monks became familiar with matcha as a meditation drink over 800 years ago, after the powder found its way from China to Japan. In the final weeks of growth, the matcha plants are covered with dark mats so that a maximum of 15% of the sunlight reaches the plants, which promotes the formation of chlorophyll. This also gives the leaves their vibrant green colour; the more chlorophyll they contain, the more nutritious the tea. As the leaves are picked and steamed by hand, all the valuable ingredients are retained. After harvesting, the matcha leaves are ground into a fine, grass-green powder using handmade granite stone mills. In contrast to cheap tea productions, the stems and veins of the tea leaf are not used in the production of matcha tea. In addition to chlorophyll, matcha also contains caffeine. The caffeine content of matcha is comparable to that of an espresso and can provide energy for four to six hours. The acidity contained in coffee can cause stomach discomfort and heartburn in some people, but matcha is known to be well tolerated.
