The innovative, Swiss-made and vegan KOSHO Matcha Effective Cosmetics are based on a unique, naturally active matcha extract - but what exactly is this ingredient and where does it come from? Discover more below...
Green "Gold" Dust From Japan
The production of matcha is by far the most elaborate in the world of tea: only around 300 tea farmers in Japan master the cultivation. And only about 20 percent of their harvest is exported, making matcha a rarity.
Shading Of Tea Plants
Four weeks before the youngest, finest leaves are hand harvested in May, the tea plantations are shaded with nets. This slows down the ripening time of the tea: with only ten percent of the actual sunlight available to the tea plants, a particularly high amount of chlorophyll is produced in order to carry out the vital photosynthesis. The result is a bright green leaf which in addition to chlorophyll has many valuable amino acids.
These vital amino acids include L-theanine which activates the production of important proteins such as collagen and elastin in the skin. These are deposited in the cells, support the weakened tissue and stimulate the cell’s, and thus the skin’s repair system, from the inside out.
Grinding Of Matcha Tea
Matcha consists of only the fine tissue of the best leaves. Stems and veins are carefully removed. After selecting, steaming and drying, only the best material reaches the mills made of granite where the tissue of the leaves is gently ground to finest powder – in an ancient process yielding only 30 to 40 grams per hour. This premium product is called matcha (“ground tea”). Brewed tea leaves release only about 20 to 30 percent of active substances. The finely ground matcha tea powder however sets free all its goodness.
The Ancient Art Of Matcha
Matcha tea has been a part of Japanese tradition for maintaining wellness dating back to the twelfth century, where it became an integral part of Japanese tea ceremonies. It has long been recognised as a “superfood” – praised for its plethora of health and beauty benefits. Containing highest levels of antioxidants, as well as vital collagen- and elastin-boosting amino acids. Learn how to prepare the perfect Matcha >
