What Matcha is?

Powdered Matcha tea was only introduced with Zen Buddhism in the 11th century and use from then for tea ceremony.

Matcha powder, green matcha tea liqueur and bamboo chasen whisk.

In the 16th century Sen No RIKYÛ, a Japanese monk who created the foundations of this ritual: abstention from any luxury, suppression of any social class, use of everyday objects, and his own invention: the Raku bowl which is often black in color in order to bring out the green of the Matcha. Considered by Monks as a stimulant, Matcha is not just a simple grinded green tea. It is produced from Tencha: a shaded tea which was steamed, then dried. Veins and stems are removed in order to avoid excessive bitterness.
