Matcha tea is the sole well-known and widely consumed type of powdered green tea. Though the practice of grinding green tea leaves into a fine powder really began in China it is sometimes thought of as a very old Japanese practice. The word itself, matcha, translates as ‘rubbed’ or ‘ground tea’. Drinking green matcha tea powder is augmenting in popularity for its taste, health benefits and tendency to create a feeling of calm.
