●抹茶とは何？
抹茶とは、柔らかい茶葉の新芽を摘み取り、蒸気で蒸した後、
「炉」と呼ばれる独特な乾燥機で乾燥させた、碾茶(テンチャ)
という物を、茎、葉脈を取り除き、石うすで挽き、
粉末化したものをいいます。

●お茶(煎茶)と抹茶の違いは？
煎茶はお湯で煎じて飲み茶殻を捨てるため、
緑茶に含まれている有効成分の約20％しか取れません。
抹茶は粉末状に挽いたお茶の葉そのものを飲むので、
お茶のもつ有効成分を100％摂取できます。

●有機栽培茶とは？
弊社が取り扱う抹茶は、有機栽培茶を使用しています。

●What is Matcha?
Matcha is powdered green tea made from Ten-cha.
Ten-cha is obtained by steaming young soft tea leaves and drying them in a special dehydrator called "Ro".
After removing stems and leaf veins, Ten-cha is grounded to a powder using a grindstone.

●What is the difference between green tea (Sen-cha) and Matcha?
Sen-cha is made by brewing tea leaves in hot water and the ingestion rate of its active ingredients is only 20%.
On the other hand, Matcha is made by dissolving powdered tea leaves in hot water and thus, its active ingredients can be ingested 100%.

●What is the organic tea?
Our Matcha uses organic tea leaves.
