The Japanese word "matcha" means nothing more than "ground tea". And yet matcha originally comes from China. In traditional Chinese medicine, the green powdered tea was used early on as a remedy. Today, matcha is also on everyone's lips. As a so-called superfood, it is rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that protect our cells from free radicals.
