We like to think of it as a sort of superhero amongst teas, as it's a super-concentrated green tea powder that's packed with antioxidants and nutrients. teapigs matcha comes from the renowned Nishio region in Japan, where the tea leaves are grown under cover to produce lots of amino acids and chlorophyll (the bright green good stuff). The leaves are then dried and very slowly ground by granite to a very fine powder, which is then packed and sealed immediately, so as to lock all the nutrients in. It's been a ceremonial beverage drunk by Buddhist monks and royalty for over 900 years. But you needn't feel foolish about the fact you've never heard of it before as, until now, virtually all matcha has been consumed within Japan.
