Matcha tea comes from the Camellia Sinensis plant, also known as the tea plant. It is shaded from the sun with soft covers to slow its growth and increase the presence of amino acids, among other compounds. This process also gives it its intense green color. The main cultivation area is Kagoshima in Japan, an ideal location due to its climate and atmospheric conditions. It is always harvested in the traditional way, entirely by hand, only once a year, usually at the beginning of May.

After harvesting, the leaves are dried and ground in a stone mill in a completely artisanal way, producing the fine powder we know today. The best part is that, thanks to this process, 100% of the leaves are used with all their properties, resulting in a high-quality product.
