Shaded
from mid-April until harvest, the tea plants at the 'Ooishita en' (covered) fields
receive reduced sunlight. Freshly sprouted
buds are picked, steamed, then
dried without being kneaded.
Most people rarely have a chance to see Maccha
(Tencha) in its original state since it is always ground when sold.
However,
as the flavor and color quickly deteriorate after being ground, manufacturers
preserve this type of tea in the non-ground tencha form.
Maccha is powdered
tea and unlike the Gyokuro and Sencha teas the drinker actually consumes 100 %
of the beneficial nutrients by drinking the ground tea leaves. Maccha is rich
in amino acids, vitamins, minerals and catechin antioxidants. It is a highly desirable
health drink and many people drink this kind of green tea daily.
