Matcha tea: a pick-me-up from Japan
We take you into the fascinating world of matcha! For centuries, Buddhist monks have valued the green powder, which is said to have healing properties. This is just one of the many reasons why matcha tea is an integral part of the traditional tea ceremony in Japan and is now attracting more and more enthusiasts worldwide. Not just any green tea is suitable for matcha, only so-called shade teas, which are shaded for up to 5 weeks before harvesting. The result: a vibrant green color and a unique taste on the palate. You too can easily prepare the green drink at home.

Frequently asked questions
Matcha (auf Japanisch: “gemahlener Tee”) ist eine einzigartige Grünteesorte. In traditionellen Granitmühlen werden die Teeblätter zu feinem Pulver zermahlen. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Teesorten, wird Matcha nicht abgefiltert. Das Pulver mit all seinen wertvollen Inhaltsstoffen wird als Ganzes genossen. Die Teeblätter werden vor der Ernte bis zu 5 Wochen beschattet, dies verleiht dem grünen Getränk seinen typisch süßlichen Geschmack.
Matcha wird wie Grüntee nach japanischer Tradition gedämpft, anschließend aber noch in Granitsteinmühlen fein gemahlen. Zur Herstellung von authentischen Matcha werden ausschließlich beschattete Teeblätter verwendet, wie z.B. Tencha. Vor der Ernte werden die Teepflanzen bis zu 5 Wochen beschattet, was Matcha den leicht süßlichen Geschmack beschert.
Für die optimale Zubereitung von Matcha sind einige Utensilien wichtig – unter anderem der Matcha-Besen (japanisch ‘Chasen’). Er sorgt dafür, dass das Matchapulver beim Aufschäumen nicht verklumpt und du ein schönes, schaumiges Getränk erhältst.
