The tea ceremony, or the making of matcha tea
The first time someone witnesses a Japanese tea ceremony, they will surely be surprised by how many small details need to be paid attention to during the ceremony. In this thousand-year-old ritual, every movement and every tool has significance, from the bowls to the bamboo whisk, all the way to the tea. The main star of the ceremony is, of course, the green matcha powder, but it is possible that in a traditional Japanese tea ceremony you will not encounter exactly the same matcha tea as you find on the shelves of health food stores. One of the main reasons for this is that ceremonial quality matcha tea is used in these ceremonies, which differs in taste, color, and texture from the matcha tea we are used to. One of the most well-known varieties of ceremonial matcha is koicha, which is actually a method of making matcha that dates back thousands of years. The meaning of the word koicha is 'thick tea': true to its name, this tea is prepared to be so strong and thick that the last sips have to be almost scooped out from the bottom of the bowl. Enthusiastic tea adventurers believe that the taste of ceremonial matcha is incomparable to anything else. Of course, this does not mean that delicious tea cannot be made from the organic matcha powder available in the market. On the contrary! Moreover, preparing matcha tea is much simpler than you might think! The secret lies in the 80°C water, into which you only need to stir half a teaspoon of matcha powder for the perfect flavor experience.
How does consuming matcha powder affect the human body?
Matcha tea is one of the most popular research topics nowadays. Numerous studies suggest that regular consumption of green tea - including matcha tea - can have a positive impact on our body and mind. A study published in 2016 found that regular green tea consumption can help reduce the risk of developing heart, cardiovascular, and digestive system diseases. The main reason for this is that consuming matcha tea can significantly reduce one of the most significant risk factors, high cholesterol levels. However, this special green miracle not only takes care of our bodies, but also our minds. A study summarizing the results of 49 studies published in 2017 revealed that the plant compounds found in matcha tea are natural mood enhancers, performance enhancers, and can have a favorable effect on hormone balance. The combination of L-theanine and caffeine present in the plant can simultaneously calm and enhance performance, which is good news for athletes and those following a healthy lifestyle.
