A Thousand Years of History
Matcha (or maccha) is a Japanese type of powdered green tea, made with a special process that requires an extremely large amount of work. This special tea has a more than thousand years of history in Japan. In the beginning only nobles, high-ranking samurais and monks had to chance to drink Matcha.
Privilege
Matcha tea was a luxury commodity held in such high esteem by the Japanese, that its preparation and consumption had its own special ceremony - this is called sado (or chado), which can be translated as the "The Way of Tea."
Eternal Youth
It is not easy to list all the benefits of Matcha. Besides numerous vitamins, it contains a large amount of catechins, that help keep our skin soft and help fight signs of aging, such as wrinkles. In olden times, Matcha was regarded as a drink that could help achieve eternal youth. Read about all the benefits of Matcha!
Traditions
The popularity of matcha remains unbroken in todays’ Japan, and it is still considered to be a premium product of local gastronomy.
In Kyoto, the old capital, the exotic drink has a particularly strong culture, partly because the tea ceremony was originally developed in this area and partly because it is home to the most famous tea plantations, in the Uji region.
Modern gastro culture
Nowadays, of course, Matcha is no longer consumed solely in ceremonies - with the right tools, anyone can prepare it for themselves at home.
Due to its health benefits and rich aroma, the fine-grained tea powder is also a popular as a flavoring sweets and cakes in Japan.
