Wikipedia: Matcha
Matcha (抹茶, Japanese: [mat.tɕa], English /ˈmætʃə/ or /ˈmɑːtʃə/) is finely ground powder of specially grown and processed green tea leaves, traditionally consumed in East Asia. It is special in two aspects of farming and processing: the green tea plants used for matcha are shade-grown for three to four weeks before harvest, and the stems and veins are removed during processing. During shaded growth, the plant Camellia sinensis produces more theanine and caffeine. The powdered form of matcha is consumed differently from tea leaves or tea bags, as it is suspended in a liquid, typically water or milk.

NEW BEER ALERT!
Matcha ‘Bliged - Matcha Milk Tea Beer
The combination of this Japanese Matcha tea with Winter White Wheat, Old Fashioned Oats, Lactose Milk Sugar and Citra hops, is insanely fun! The Matcha aroma jumps out of the glass, but stays smooth with just enough linger on the palate. Full bodied and creamy.
