What is Matcha
1- So What is Matcha?
Matcha is a powder collected from finely grounded green tea leaves (Tencha). This powder is mixed with hot water in a bowl called a chasen and whipped using a small, traditional bamboo whisk. Matcha green tea has gained popularity in North America quite recently yet it has been consumed for centuries.
Indeed, the fact of grinding tea leaves and making it into a drink is an ancient Chinese tradition of over a thousand years that was introduced to Japan by Buddhist monks. This tea was traditionally prepared and drunk as part of Zen tea ceremonies, in order to induce meditation.
