About Matcha Tea from Kenya

The cultivation of Tea has taken place in Kenya since 1903. However, it didn’t become commercially viable until 1918. The creation of White Kenya Matcha Tea, in particular, wouldn’t happen for several more decades.

It is now a popular Type of Tea that grows at high altitudes to avoid the use of pesticides. The leaves are shade-grown for two weeks to produce large quantities of amino acids and chlorophyll. 

By increasing the amino acid and chlorophyll levels in Matcha, the Loose Tea’s nutritional value enhances considerably. This is further increased by the grinding of the leaf into powder, which means that its antioxidant strength becomes at least 137 times more than “standard” Tea.

It’s worth noting, too, that White Tea contains more antioxidants than Green Tea at the best of times - a win on all fronts!
