Mechanical matcha grinding with grinding stone at Marukyu Koyama En, Uji (Japan)
How matcha grinding is done today with machines, using a grinding stone. Dried tea leaves (tencha) were used.
See how it was done without machines:
Normally it's not allowed to picture or even film that, but somehow they made an exception for my group. Thanks a lot!

Inside a Tencha Factory at Fuji Matcha
We had such an amazing visit inside the Tencha factory of Fuji matcha, we wanted to share it with you! As you may know, it is impossible to make good matcha without good tencha, so tencha production is a crucial factor when it comes to producing Fuji Matcha - perhaps the best matcha I have ever tasted.
To produce tencha, the leaves need to be steamed for the perfect amount of time and then the stems and veins of the leaves need to be removed, to ensure that there is no bitterness in the final product. It is really amazing to see all the attention to detail that goes into making this amazing product. It gives you a much deeper appreciation for the tea that you drink.

This healthy matcha from Uji, close to Kyoto is pure and full of energy, vitamins, and antioxidants. The antioxidants help the skin to look much younger and prevent aging.T
he way I made this drink is called Koicha. You add more matcha and less water, whisk it with the chasen but make sure not to make too much foam.
The cultivar made a very good heritage matcha that is not only healthy but helps to lose weight. It is very tasty and I would call it the king of Japanese tea.
