Matcha is made by picking tea leaves, steaming them, drying them and then grinding them into a fine powder using traditional granite mills.

Matcha is traditionally prepared by adding a small amount of powder to a bowl and then adding hot water. The whole is then beaten with a bamboo whisk until a frothy drink is created.
