Description
Matcha is more than just a trend - it's a centuries-old superfood with unique flavour, vibrant colour, and remarkable health benefits. The Book of Matcha is the ultimate guide for anyone who wants to understand, enjoy, and make the most of this extraordinary Japanese green tea powder.

Covering everything from how matcha is grown and ground to the best ways to drink it and cook with it, this definitive volume celebrates matcha in all its forms and shows you how to bring it into your everyday life.

Revered in Japan for generations, matcha is affectionately known as a 'superhero among teas'. Buddhist monks once drank it to sustain long meditations, while today athletes, nutritionists, and wellness seekers alike praise its powerful antioxidant qualities and natural energy boost. Beyond its health benefits, matcha is also valued for its unique, grassy-sweet flavour and luminous green colour, making it as beautiful in a traditional tea bowl as it is in a modern latte or cake.

The Book of Matcha takes readers on a complete journey, from leaf to cup and beyond. You'll learn how the tea plants are specially grown, shaded and hand-harvested; how the leaves are stone-ground into fine powder; and how different grades are produced for ceremonial, culinary and everyday use. Along the way, the book explores the role of matcha in Japanese rituals, its growing global popularity, and the science behind its health claims.

Inside you'll discover:


  • What matcha is and how it's made: from cultivation and harvesting to grinding and grading.
  • The culture and history of matcha: its origins in Japanese tea ceremonies and its global rise.
  • Health benefits explained: why it's known as a 'superhero among teas' and what makes it unique.
  • How to drink matcha: step-by-step guidance on preparing the perfect bowl or latte.
  • Over 40 recipes: from energising smoothies, teas and lattes to cakes, breads, ice creams, and savoury dishes.

With its mix of history, cultural insight, health knowledge, and practical instruction, The Book of Matcha stands apart as the definitive title on this super tea.

Whether you want to prepare an authentic whisked matcha, discover new ways to cook with it, or simply understand why this powder has captivated tea lovers across the globe, this book is your essential guide. Beautifully packaged, The Book of Matcha is a must-have for foodies, wellness enthusiasts, and anyone ready to bring the power of matcha into their daily routine.

About the Author

tea before teapigs

Back in 2006 the world of whole-leaf tea was boring, stuffy and outdated.

Meanwhile...cool things were happening in the world of coffee.

We saw the opportunity to get everyone drinking real tea again! And by real we mean big leaf and big on flavour. So, in November 2006 teapigs was born.

teapigs today

Our mission today is the same as it was back in 2006: to get everyone drinking top quality, whole-leaf, great tasting tea - and to do business a bit differently while we're at it.

All natural. No nasties. BIG leaf = BIG flavour. Simple!

You'll find teapigs in lovely cafes and delis, food halls and grocers, hotels and restaurants up and down the UK... and in over 40 countries too! Our teas have won over 157 Great Taste Awards, we've been voted best brand 7 times by independent retailers.

We still love to see photos of our tea out and about, so if you spot us, please do share @teapigs #teapigs.
