Matcha tea is widely regarded as the most exquisite green tea in the world.

Meticulous methods of orthodox production are what give matcha green tea its vibrant emerald colour, and delicate sweet taste.

Produced from the same, shade-grown tealeaves that are used to make gyokuro, matcha tea takes the form of a fine powder. The dried leaves are de-veined and de-stemmed, and then carefully mill-ground. The result is a tea that, with the aid of a matcha whisk, completely dissolves in water and other liquids. So, when you drink a cup of matcha tea, you imbibe the tealeaf itself - complete with the vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that it contains.

Matcha tea is most famous for its pivotal role in the Japanese tea ceremony: its refreshing, uplifting qualities invigorate body, as well as mind.

Matcha tea is highly versatile, and can be consumed in a variety of ways. Mixed with hot water, it provides a stimulating and refreshing beverage in its own right. But matcha tea can also be combined with fruit juice, milk or yoghurt - or even used in cooking, to give everyday recipes an unusual twist
