What you should definitely pay attention to with matcha tea 

Since the term "matcha" is not a protected term in Japanese only means "ground tea", you should make sure that where it says matcha, it is really good matcha. Quality differences arise with tea for example through the growing area and the time of picking.

High-quality Matcha tea for the classic tea ceremony comes from an early picking, because then only the fresh, young tea leaves hand-picked. It is then more intense and aromatic in taste and less bitter. The degree of shading also has a decisive influence on the quality. By shading the Tencha, the enrichment of various ingredients such as chlorophyll or tea is promoted and the taste is positively influenced. The more the tencha is shaded, the more aromatic its taste and the more intense its color.
