What is Matcha? The Complete Beginner’s Guide

If you’ve ever wondered, what is matcha?, you’re not alone. This vibrant green tea powder has taken the wellness world by storm - and for good reason.

Matcha is a finely ground powder made from specially grown and processed green tea leaves. Unlike regular green tea, where you steep the leaves and discard them, matcha is whisked into hot water, allowing you to consume the entire leaf. This means more nutrients, more antioxidants, and a calm, focused energy that lasts.

At Kodama Teahouse, we source our matcha directly from small farms in Japan, ensuring ceremonial-grade quality and unmatched flavor. Whether you’re new to matcha or deepening your tea ritual, knowing the origins and process behind it brings greater appreciation to every cup.

Benefits of Matcha:

• High in antioxidants, particularly EGCG
• Natural energy boost without the crash
• Supports metabolism and focus
• A cornerstone of Japanese tea ceremonies for centuries
