Matcha contains more health -promoting ingredients and more caffeine than other types of green. Other plus points are the antioxidants contained-Matcha should have a positive impact on the body for cardiovascular diseases, cancer and Alzheimer's.

Elaborate production

After a two to three-week shading, the tea leaves shine in a magnificent green. Hardly picked, you carefully sort out of all tea leaves the leafsticks and leaf ribs. This tea now known as the "Tencha" is ground into the finest powder in a slowly rotating granite mill. The amount of a small can is created per hour. The bright green tea powder is immediately packed to guarantee the freshness.

The selection of recipes is limitless: as a quick encore in the breakfast Müesli, as a stimulating iced tea or Matcha latte, as a green Glacé, Panna Cotta or Tiramisu, even in salad dressing, as a green risotto or in a pea soup. A Prosecco or Hugo can also be spiced up trendy with Matcha. More advanced chefs dare to have a Matcha bread or Mochi (Japanese rice cake). Let your creativity run free! Incidentally, we also like the apple mousse with Matcha and Ginger by Christina Hubbeling.
