Matcha 936 is made from shade-grown tea leaves that are enclosed to protect them from direct sunlight, which can change the natural proportions of caffeine, sugar, and flavanols. In order to maximize the chlorophyll content and bring out the umami taste of the tea, this procedure is used two to six weeks before harvest.

The second stage entails hand-picking, steaming, and air drying only the finest and greenest products, followed by steaming and air drying. The steaming method prevents the leaves from oxidizing, allowing them to keep their bright green colour as well as the amino acids and other nutritional components. Moreover, a blower is utilized to dry and eliminate the matcha’s air and water content. The leaves are then de-veined and de-stemmed in order to guarantee that only the purest leaves are used to make matcha. Before being kept in a refrigerated chamber, the tea is examined and meticulously labeled in order to reach the best standard of tea.

Grinding is the next step in matcha manufacture, which ensures a fine and uniform powder structure. The matcha powder is vacuum sealed before being stored in a warehouse.

Additional Information

Matcha has a higher caffeine concentration compared to other green teas, which provides it a distinct flavor and aroma.

Caffeine's benefits are based on its antioxidant capability, which allows it to neutralize reactive oxygen species while also increasing activities of antioxidant enzymes and total glutathione levels.
Caffeine, in daily doses, may lower the prevalence of free radical-mediated illnesses by reducing persistent peroxidation.

Caffeine may also have anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting the release of proinflammatory cytokines.
