Organic Matcha TZ-M-101
What is Chinese Ceremonial Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder Principal TZ-M-101?
Chinese Ceremonial Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder Principal TZ-M-101 is finely ground powder of specially grown and processed green tea leaves. It is the highest Ceremonial grades of TIZAN organic Matcha, TZ-M-101 has a more intense sweetness and deeper flavour than the standard or coarser grades of tea harvested later in the year.
The green tea plants are shade-grown for three to four weeks before harvest, this slows down growth, stimulates an increase in chlorophyll levels, turns the leaves a darker shade of green, and causes the production of amino acids, in particular theanine. After harvest the leaves are briefly steamed and dried, known as tencha. Finally all stems are removed so that only the pure leaves are left. Then, tencha can be ground to the fine, bright green powder known as matcha.
