Matcha (or Matcha in exact transliteration, Matcha) - translates as "ground tea" - it is a powdered tea made by grinding a dry leaf of Japanese tea Tencha (Tentya). It has an exquisite rich aroma with a mild flavor. Tea leaves, from which Tentya and further Matcha are produced, are shaded before picking, like the Japanese green tea Gekuro. 
 Matcha Tea is famous as the foundation of a traditional Japanese tea ceremony, behind which lies a whole philosophy. 
 Matcha green is also used in cooking as a food supplement in various desserts and drinks to give color and added flavor.
