What is Matcha?

Matcha is a popular powdered green tea from Japan. It is made by finely grinding young green tea leaves into fine powder. The power is green and when mixed with water creates a vibrant shade. The flavor is bitter, strong, slightly sweet and almost floral and grassy. Matcha is used as a beverage and also in desserts for its flavor and color.

What does Matcha Taste Like?

Sweet

Sweet is one of the five main tastes. It has smooth and round notes in its flavor profile. Sweet is a naturally occurring flavor in many foods, including fruits, berries, winter squashes, sugarcane, and honey. The sweet taste in these foods is due to a higher sugar content. Sweetness is characteristic of desserts and is used as an accent in savory foods.

Bitter

Bitter is one of the five main tastes. It has a sharp and pungent profile. Bitter is a naturally occurring flavor in many foods, including coffee, chocolate, bitter melon, and chicory. Bitter is used sparingly to accentuate the flavors around it and can be mellowed by other tastes in both savory and sweet dishes.

Ingredients

green tea leaves

Green tea leaves are harvested from the leaves and buds of the camellia sinensis plant early in the harvest season, while the leaves are still tender. The leaves are then dried and packed as loose or bagged tea. Green tea is caffeinated and has a smooth vegetal and almost floral taste. When brewed the tea is a light green color and can be served hot or cold.
