I-matcha green tea isiphu sehlaba selokhu saba ngenye yeziphuzo okukhulunywa kakhulu ngazo kule minyaka eyishumi, sivela kuma-menu ezindawo zekhofi, kuma-blog ezempilo, nasemaphepheni ocwaningo lwezokudla emhlabeni wonke. Okwakuyisisekelo esithulile samasiko etiye laseJapan, leli tiye eliluhlaza eliyimpuphu manje linika amandla kusukela kuma-matcha latte asekuseni kuze kufike ezikhathini zokuthula ezingokwesiko. Abathengi bafuna okungaphezu kwesiphuzo esihle; bafuna ubufakazi bokuhlanzeka, ukutholakala ngokucophelela, kanye nenani langempela lezempilo. Yingakho kanye ukukhetha umkhiqizi othembekile kubalulekile njengokukhetha itiye ngokwalo. I-Changzhou Qingzhitang Tea Co., Ltd., umkhiqizi wetiye waseChina onezindawo zetiye zakhe kanye nezinsiza zokukhiqiza zesimanje, yakhe idumela layo ngaso sona leso sikhathi sokungafihli lutho. Kulesi siqondiso esiphelele, sihlola ukuthi yini eyenza i-matcha green tea ikhetheke, indlela yokwahlulela izinga layo, kanye nendlela yokuthenga i-matcha powder enhle kakhulu yekhaya lakho noma yebhizinisi lakho.

Itiye eliluhlaza le-matcha aliwona nje amaqabunga etiye agaywe; liwuhlobo olulinywe ngokucophelela lwetiye eliluhlaza elitshalwe emthunzini olunomlando ohlehlela emuva emakhulwini ayisishiyagalombili nangaphezulu eminyaka. Abalimi betiye baseShayina ekuqaleni bakha amakhekhe etiye abiliswayo, acindezelwayo, okwathi kamuva izindela zaseJapane zazenza zaba itiye elimpuphu elishaywayo esilaziyo namuhla. Ezinsukwini zokugcina ezintathu noma ezine ngaphambi kokuvuna, abalimi bumboza izitshalo ngendwangu yomthunzi, okuzibangela ukuba zikhiqize amazinga aphezulu e-chlorophyll nama-amino acid. Ngemva kokuvuna, kukhethwa kuphela amaqabunga amancane, amasha kakhulu, abiliswe ukuze kuvinjwe ukugqwala, bese omiswa. Izinto zamaqabunga omisiwe, ezaziwa ngokuthi i-tencha, zigaywa kancane kancane phakathi kwamatshe e-granite zibe impuphu ecolekileyo encibilika ngokuphelele emanzini.
