Matcha is a Japanese green tea powder made from gyokuro tea leaves that have been steamed, dried, and finely ground. The resulting powder is mixed with hot water and easily dissolves to become a cup of green tea. Matcha is available in Asian and gourmet markets and tea shops or online at www.amazon.com and www.japanesegreentea.com.
