What Is Matcha?

Matcha has a rich history that dates back over a thousand years, rooted deeply in Japanese culture and tradition. Originally brought from China by Buddhist monks in the 12th century, matcha became integral to Japanese Zen practices as a way to cultivate calm focus during meditation. By the 16th century, the Japanese tea ceremony emerged, elevating matcha preparation into an art form, emphasizing mindfulness, respect, and harmony. Today, matcha continues to be cherished worldwide for its vibrant flavor, health benefits, and the serene ritual it inspires. With every sip, you’re experiencing a timeless tradition that has been refined through generations.
