Matcha is finely powdered green tea, which is mixed into water or milk, as opposed to sencha, which is steeped served without the leaves. Matcha requires careful cultivation and preparation techniques, including shade growing, hand picking, de-stemming and de-veining of the leaf, as well as fine grinding.
