The Zen monks of the Tang Dynasty were the first ones to pulverize green tea leaves. Before the process of stone-grinding, green tea leaves were steamed, dried and molded into bricks for easier transportation and trade.&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;meta charset=&quot;utf-8&quot;&gt;\n&lt;p name=&quot;939f&quot; class=&quot;graf graf--p graf-after--p&quot;&gt;Esai Myoan, a famed Japanese Monk had gone to China to study Buddhism.

As the centuries progressed, Matcha become central to Japanese culture and a key part of their common household diets. Over the years, Japanese farmers perfected the art of making Matcha by sun drying and stone grinding. Matcha green tea was also developed by Japanese tea masters and it was readily accepted as a part of formal and informal tea ceremonies. With the advent of science and technology in the last two decades, a significant amount of research revealed the unparalleled goodness of Matcha. This was readily embraced by the West, who came to know ‘Matcha’ as one of secrets of Japanese longevity. Today, Matcha powder is one of the most popular superfoods consumed all over the world with a wide base for culinary matcha preparations as well.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;meta charset=&quot;utf-8&quot;&gt;\n&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where is Matcha Green Tea grown?&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;\n&lt;meta charset=&quot;utf-8&quot;&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;The best quality Matcha is grown in several prefectures across Japan primarily in the Uji, Shizuoka, Nishio, and Kagoshima. Vahdam Teas sources its Matcha Tea from esteemed plantations based in the cities of Honyama and Kawane, located in the Shizuoka prefecture. Shizuoka is the largest producer of Green Tea in Japan. This picturesque area produces 39,000- 40,000 tons of green tea annually. &lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p name=&quot;520c&quot; id=&quot;520c&quot; class=&quot;graf graf--p graf-after--p&quot;&gt;Shizuoka is blessed with the perfect climate, the perfect Japanese terrain of stunning mountains, clear streams, coastal beaches, hot springs, and very fertile soil.&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p name=&quot;520c&quot; class=&quot;graf graf--p graf-after--p&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2675/9476/files/5_large.jpeg?v=1554532335&quot; alt=&quot;5&quot; style=&quot;display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot; width=&quot;554&quot; height=&quot;353&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;br&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;Speaking of the ideal temperature, a mild and temperate climate where the temperature remains between 14–16 degrees Celsius brings out the best characteristics of tea, in terms of flavor, quality, and aroma. In addition to this, Shizuoka is in close proximity to Mt. Fuji and other volcanic mountains. The rolling hillsides and the surrounding valley boasts of rich and supremely fertile volcanic soil. Fog rises on the rivers and streams, which covers the surrounding area and the fields. This fog acts as a natural filter and shields the fields from receiving direct sunlight. Hence the tea plants are all shade-grown. Without any sunlight, the plants keep producing chlorophyll, essential nutrients, and minerals in abundance. This is what makes the Shizuoka Green Tea and the consequent Matcha tea, the best in the world.&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;meta charset=&quot;utf-8&quot;&gt;\n&lt;h3 name=&quot;8fba&quot; id=&quot;8fba&quot; class=&quot;graf graf--h3 graf-after--p&quot;&gt;&lt;strong class=&quot;markup--strong markup--h3-strong&quot;&gt;How is Matcha Grown and Manufactured?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;\n&lt;p name=&quot;8f95&quot; id=&quot;8f95&quot; class=&quot;graf graf--p graf-after--h3&quot;&gt;Our partner plantation are based in the cities of Honyama and Kawane, in the Shizuoka prefecture.

Here’s how Vahdam’s Japanese Matcha Green Tea is grown and manufactured: &lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;meta charset=&quot;utf-8&quot;&gt;\n&lt;h4 name=&quot;5df8&quot; id=&quot;5df8&quot; class=&quot;graf graf--h4 graf-after--p&quot;&gt;&lt;strong class=&quot;markup--strong markup--h4-strong&quot;&gt;CULTIVATION &amp;amp; SHADING&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong class=&quot;markup--strong markup--h4-strong&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2675/9476/files/6_large.jpeg?v=1554532465&quot; alt=&quot;6&quot; style=&quot;display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot; width=&quot;563&quot; height=&quot;375&quot;&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;meta charset=&quot;utf-8&quot;&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;The onset of spring awakens the tea bushes from a state of hibernation and all the accumulated nutrition travels to the new, sprouting tea buds. The tea bushes are then covered with reed &amp;amp; straw screens to block sunlight. Forced to be starved of sunlight, the tea bushes start to sprout more and push more nutrients from its roots to the buds and leaves, right at the top. &lt;br&gt;This process, followed for a few weeks before harvest, bestows the tea with abundant amounts of nutrients and antioxidants. This is also the key step which differentiates Authentic Japanese Matcha from other green tea powder produce from around the world.&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;meta charset=&quot;utf-8&quot;&gt;\n&lt;h4 name=&quot;2d2e&quot; id=&quot;2d2e&quot; class=&quot;graf graf--h4 graf-after--p&quot;&gt;&lt;strong class=&quot;markup--strong markup--h4-strong&quot;&gt;HARVESTING&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong class=&quot;markup--strong markup--h4-strong&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2675/9476/files/7_large.jpeg?v=1554532580&quot; alt=&quot;7&quot; style=&quot;display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot; width=&quot;554&quot; height=&quot;369&quot;&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;meta charset=&quot;utf-8&quot;&gt;\n&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;Once the plants have accumulated abundant nutrients being forced to grow in the shade and have matured perfectly, it is time for harvest. In spring and summer, the tea leaves are selectively planted according to the grade of matcha to be produced.&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;meta charset=&quot;utf-8&quot;&gt;\n&lt;h3 name=&quot;ab4f&quot; id=&quot;ab4f&quot; class=&quot;graf graf--h3 graf-after--p&quot;&gt;&lt;strong class=&quot;markup--strong markup--h3-strong&quot;&gt;The Processing of Tea&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;\n&lt;h4 name=&quot;2915&quot; id=&quot;2915&quot; class=&quot;graf graf--p graf--empty graf-after--h3&quot;&gt;\n&lt;strong class=&quot;markup--strong markup--h4-strong&quot;&gt;Steaming&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/h4&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;After the tea leaves have been harvested, the collected lot is sent to the factory for processing. The processing starts with laying down the leaves on large conveyor belts which carry the leaves to a steamer. Unlike the processing techniques in many other countries, the tea leaves are ‘deep-steamed’ in Japan. The process of steaming takes place for only 10–20 seconds, but this step has a crucial role in deciding the flavor of the Matcha powder. &lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p name=&quot;227c&quot; id=&quot;227c&quot; class=&quot;graf graf--p graf-after--p&quot;&gt;Steaming is done for a variety of reasons. The primary reason is to halt the process of oxidation in the tea leaves which preserves the vibrant green color, the nutrients, and the freshness of the tea leaves. Secondly, to remove the grass-like flavor and the conventional bitterness of green tea. Deep steaming the tea leaves also makes them more malleable for pulverization in the latter stages of processing.&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;meta charset=&quot;utf-8&quot;&gt;\n&lt;h4 name=&quot;c074&quot; id=&quot;c074&quot; class=&quot;graf graf--h4 graf-after--p&quot;&gt;&lt;strong class=&quot;markup--strong markup--h4-strong&quot;&gt;Drying&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong class=&quot;markup--strong markup--h4-strong&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2675/9476/files/8_large.jpeg?v=1554532933&quot; alt=&quot;8&quot; style=&quot;display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot; width=&quot;554&quot; height=&quot;407&quot;&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;meta charset=&quot;utf-8&quot;&gt;\n&lt;p name=&quot;b565&quot; id=&quot;b565&quot; class=&quot;graf graf--p graf-after--figure&quot;&gt;The next step after deep-steaming the tea leaves is cooling down the steamed leaves, commonly known as ‘drying’. The deep-steamed leaves are passed through a series of drying columns which are equipped with wind turbines. Once the leaves cool down and detach from each other with the help of a mild flow of air, they are then scattered and laid on a conveyor belt which goes through a dryer, allowing further moisture to dry from the surface of the leaves. This ensures that the leaves are devoid of any moisture and hence ready to be de-veined and de-stemmed in the next step.&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;meta charset=&quot;utf-8&quot;&gt;\n&lt;h4 name=&quot;a190&quot; id=&quot;a190&quot; class=&quot;graf graf--p graf-after--p&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;De-veining &amp;amp; De-stemming &lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;\n&lt;strong class=&quot;markup--strong markup--p-strong&quot;&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong class=&quot;markup--strong markup--p-strong&quot;&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;\n&lt;p name=&quot;a190&quot; class=&quot;graf graf--p graf-after--p&quot;&gt;The dried tea leaves need to be further filtered and cut into smaller pieces before being pulverized into fine&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://medium.com/r/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.vahdamteas.in%2Fcollections%2Fmatcha%2Fproducts%2Fmatcha-japanese-green-tea&quot; data-href=&quot;https://medium.com/r/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.vahdamteas.in%2Fcollections%2Fmatcha%2Fproducts%2Fmatcha-japanese-green-tea&quot; class=&quot;markup--anchor markup--p-anchor&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener noreferrer&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;matcha powder&lt;/a&gt;. The small twigs and veins of the leaves need to be filtered out which can otherwise disrupt the grinding process by sticking to the mortar.

This finalized tencha is stored in a temperature-controlled environment till it is pulverized. This ensures freshness of the tea, proper aging of the tea, and also to prevent any oxidation. Upon receiving an order, the finalized tencha is sent for pulverizing or to be ground into fine Matcha powder.

For producing matcha, the tea bushes are covered by a sheet or are shade-grown for several weeks before harvest. Keeping these plants starved of sunlight, the plants overproduce chlorophyll and the amino acids. Upon harvest, just the veins and steams are removed and the whole tea is ground to make Matcha, which makes it richer in caffeine and also in antioxidants than typical green tea.

But, matcha also has a compound called ‘L-Theanine’ which alters the side effects of this caffeine. It further promotes alertness and also avoids the sudden, unwanted energy crashes that are quite common otherwise with normal caffeine consumption. Additionally, L-Theanine also promotes a state of relaxation and well-being by positively influencing the cognitive functioning of the brain.&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;h4 name=&quot;ceab&quot; id=&quot;ceab&quot; class=&quot;graf graf--p graf--empty graf-after--p&quot;&gt;&lt;strong class=&quot;markup--strong markup--h4-strong&quot;&gt;PROMOTES CARDIAC HEALTH&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong class=&quot;markup--strong markup--h4-strong&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2675/9476/files/13_large.jpeg?v=1554533380&quot; alt=&quot;13&quot; style=&quot;display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot; width=&quot;524&quot; height=&quot;359&quot;&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;meta charset=&quot;utf-8&quot;&gt;\n&lt;p name=&quot;3ee9&quot; id=&quot;3ee9&quot; class=&quot;graf graf--p graf-after--figure&quot;&gt;Drinking&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://medium.com/r/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.vahdamteas.com%2Fcollections%2Fmatcha&quot; data-href=&quot;https://medium.com/r/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.vahdamteas.com%2Fcollections%2Fmatcha&quot; class=&quot;markup--anchor markup--p-anchor&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener noreferrer&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Matcha green tea&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;can promote better cardiac health and can bring down the risk of heart diseases significantly.
