Matcha: Japan’s Elite Green Tea -Talk with Slide show 6:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m.
Matcha, the powdered green tea is a focal point in the Japanese tea ceremony Chanoyu, a uniquely Japanese tea practice since the 15th and 16th centuries. The serving of “Matcha” during this formal ceremony gave the tea prestige and carved a national identity for it. Despite its long history and importance, the understanding of real Matcha is being diluted today according to Tea masters.
