Dr. Walter Glück
Matcha – The healthy green tea miracle

For Centuries Matcha, the ground green tea, was a strictly protected secret. Only the clergy and the imperial house were allowed to taste the immortality drink after it reached from China to Japan in the 8th century. At that time, Matcha tea has developed into the worldwide popular lifestyle drink. Matcha became known internationally more as an ingredient in sweets and chocolate than for its effect which led to its nickname of „Espresso of the Teas“. Matcha is generated exclusively from high-quality tea leaves, which are developed into a top product in a complicated production procedure in our own stone milling machines. For the maturation, the tea leaves need absolute darkness and hence are grown under straw or plastic mats.
In this book, the traditional background, the medical aspects as well as the delightful use of Matcha are made public for the first time.
