Matcha is basically a special type of green tea. It undergoes special treatments at various stages of its preparation from harvesting, curing, storing, drying, aging and finally powdering.
The whole dried and aged tea is powdered and consumed unlike the traditional green teas which are steeped in hot water and then after the infusion the teas are discarded.
