Matcha is finely ground powder of specially grown and processed green tea leaves, traditionally consumed in East Asia.
The green tea plants used for matcha are shade-grown for three to four weeks before harvest; the stems and veins are removed during processing.

Feel. When rubbed between your fingers, a good quality matcha green tea has a fine and smooth feel to it. Its consistency should be similar to that of a baby powder or an eyeshadow.
