What is matcha?
Originating from Japanese culture, matcha has been consumed for 800 years by Zen Buddhist monks.
In 1191, a Buddhist monk named Eisai (1141-1215) brought back from China a tea that corresponds to the current Matcha, a powdered green tea mixed with hot water.
In its early days, Matcha tea was consumed as a medicine, then gradually became known and enjoyed during meditation sessions.
