The essentials in 20 seconds
BONTHÉ Ceremonial Matcha is Japanese powdered green tea in organic quality from the area around Nishio in Aichi Prefecture, which specialises solely in matcha.
It has a delicate taste with a pleasant bitterness reminiscent of young walnuts, and a very long finish. One serving (2 g) contains approximately 70 to 100 mg of caffeine.
How matcha is made
From shaded leaves to fine powder.
about 20 days before harvest The tea bushes are covered so that the leaves produce more chlorophyll and L-theanine. Hence the deep green colour.
the most tender leaves Matcha is made from the most tender spring leaves of the tea bush.
no stems or veins The stems and veins are removed from the leaves. This produces tencha, which is ground into matcha.
fine powder Tencha is ground in stone mills into a very fine powder, which you drink whole.
