Matcha
Matcha means “powdered tea.” When you drink traditional green tea, the leaves get infused into the hot water, but the leaves are discarded. With matcha, you’re drinking the actual leaves, which have been processed into a fine powder. Matcha tea has been used in traditional Japanese tea ceremonies for centuries. The 8th-century Zen priest Eisai, introduced Matcha tea to Japan, says “it is the ultimate mental and medical remedy and has the ability to make one’s life more full and complete”.
