What is Matcha
From Leaf to Powder – Everything You Need to Know
Matcha is a finely ground powder made from shade‑grown tea leaves. Unlike regular green tea (where you steep and discard the leaves), with matcha you consume the whole leaf – delivering more flavor, more color, and more nutrients.
At MatchaPro, we produce pure matcha powder in our own factory. No sugar, no fillers, no additives. Just green tea matcha powder as it should be.
