The preparation of matcha starts several weeks before harvest – when the tea bushes are covered to prevent direct sunlight. This slows down growth, turns the leaves a darker shade of green and causes the production of amino acids that make the resulting tea sweeter.

After harvesting, if the leaves are rolled out before drying as usual, the result will be gyokuro (jewel dew) tea. However, if the leaves are laid out flat to dry, they will crumble somewhat and become known as tencha.

Tencha can then be stone ground to the fine, bright green, talc-like powder known as matcha. Note that only powdered tencha qualifies as matcha, and other powdered teas are known as kocha ( lit. “powdered tea”).
