Seattle, WA -- (SBWire) -- 02/21/2020 --Matcha is a finely ground powder of specially grown and processed green tea leaves. The green tea plants used for matcha are shade-grown for three to four weeks before harvest, and the stems and veins are removed during processing. The manufacture of matcha involves a slow grinding process, which is intended to keep the natural aroma of green tea leaves intact. It takes at least one hour to yield around 30 grams of matcha. The flavor of matcha depends upon the amino acid levels in the tea leaves, and the highest grades of matcha are recognized by their intense sweetness and strong aroma. China and Japan are among the primary producers of matcha.
Increasing awareness about the health benefits of matcha tea is driving the growth of the global matcha market. Matcha contains a high antioxidant content (mainly EGCG), which aids in the prevention of bladder, prostate, cervix, and brain cancers. High amino acid content in matcha helps reduce stress, enhance alertness and mental calmness, and prevents chronic diseases, such as diabetes and gastrointestinal illnesses. Matcha is also known to boost metabolism and burn calories, due to which is it widely used for weight loss management. Growing health consciousness among the global populace is fuelling the demand for matcha tea, which in turn, is boosting the expansion of the global matcha market. Moreover, easy availability of matcha tea in retail stores, online stores, and hypermarkets is further fueling the global market growth.
