Origins of matcha
Although matcha’s roots trace back to China, it truly flourished in Japan. In the 12th century, Zen monks brought the powdered tea technique and integrated it into their spiritual practice. This led to the Japanese tea ceremony — an art of mindfulness, simplicity, and beauty.
How matcha is made
Japanese matcha tea is produced from tencha. Tea bushes are shaded 2–4 weeks before harvest to boost chlorophyll and amino acids. Selected leaves are steamed, dried, and slowly stone‑ground into an ultra‑fine powder, preserving umami, vivid color, and benefits.
Types of matcha
- Ceremonial matcha — for traditional preparation with a bamboo whisk (chasen).
- Culinary matcha — for lattes, desserts, smoothies, and baking.
- Organic matcha — grown without synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.
- Blue matcha (butterfly pea) — flower powder with a deep blue hue.
- Pink matcha (rose petals) — a delicate floral accent and gentle pink tone.
- Fruit powders — vibrant mixes for creative drinks and desserts.
Benefits of matcha
Matcha is rich in antioxidants and L‑theanine with gentle caffeine: it supports focus, provides steady energy without spikes, and helps metabolism. No surprise queries like matcha benefits or matcha for weight loss are popular.
How to whisk/brew matcha properly
Traditional: sift 1–2 g into a chawan, add 70–80 ml of 75–85°C water, and whisk with a bamboo chasen in “W–M” motions until creamy foam (usucha). For a thicker version (koicha), use more powder and less water. Modern: matcha latte, smoothies, and culinary recipes.
