What is matcha?
The word “matcha” actually just means “tea in powder form”. However, most people who refer to “matcha” are specifically talking about the matcha “green tea powder”. In this matcha lemonade recipe, the matcha also comes from the dried leaves of green tea plants, which are ground into a green powder.
There are different grades of matcha – the highest quality is “ceremonial grade”. Whenever you can, use quality matcha. Ceremonial-grade matcha has the liveliest green color, the least bitter taste, and the highest concentration of nutrients. It also has one disadvantage, it is unfortunately also the most expensive.
