Tea Ceremony Juan

Matcha has become a favorite flavor of several countries, featured in Starbucks drinks and other renowned cafes. It is a ground powder made from green tea leaves, sources mostly coming from East Asia. Powdered matcha differs from the usual tea bags as it is often directly mixed with water or milk. In Japan, traditional tea ceremonies focus on the preparation and serving of matcha, which is drunk as a hot tea. It is also important that matcha should be “ceremonial-grade” as this is the quality standard that qualifies it to be used in ceremonies. Nowadays, matcha has evolved to dyes and flavors found in ice creams, mochi, and lattes.
