The Essentials of a Japanese Matcha Tea Ceremony

The Japanese tea ceremony, or chanoyu, is more than just a method of preparing tea; it's a practice steeped in symbolism and mindfulness. At the heart of this ritual is matcha – a finely ground green tea powder known for its vibrant colour and rich, umami flavour. To fully appreciate matcha, you'll need a proper matcha tea set.
