DISCERNING QUALITY of Ceremonial Matcha
A lot of different things can affect the quality of Matcha - region, geographical conditions, skill of the tea farmers, and the variety of the tea bush -
all add up to the unique qualities of Matcha.
Check for these elements (CFF) when evaluating your Matcha
COLOR 
Matcha is a vibrant jade green (while green tea powders are often yellow-brown), due to the increased chlorophyll content that occurs during the shading process. Quality Matcha is ground using slow-turning granite grinders, which minimizes friction, allowing the tea to be ground without "burning," retaining the chlorophyll.

The sweetness comes from the L-theanine amino acids in the tea.

A lower quality Matcha will have larger particle sizes, resulting in a coarser feel when rubbed between your fingers.
