The history and origins of matcha

Matcha, a finely-ground powdered green tea, is much more than just a drink; it reflects a rich cultural tradition and an ancient history that goes back centuries. Originally from China, it was in Japan that matcha really came into its own, becoming a symbol of refinement and ceremony.

Chinese roots
The first traces of tea ground into powder and mixed with hot water date back to the Tang dynasty in China (618-907 A.D.). In those days, tea leaves were steamed, formed into bricks for storage and distribution, then ground into powder before being consumed.

The Japanese renaissance
Although the concept of powdered tea originated in China, it was in Japan that matcha truly evolved and flourished. In 1191, a Japanese Buddhist monk named Eisai introduced powdered tea to Japan after studying in China. Eisai, renowned for his contributions to the spread of Zen Buddhism, saw tea as an aid to meditation, emphasizing its health-promoting properties.

Production and cultivation techniques
Tea plants destined to become matcha are grown in the shade for around three weeks before harvesting. This process increases the chlorophyll and amino acid content of the leaves, giving matcha its bright green color and distinctive umami taste. After harvesting, the leaves are steamed to stop fermentation, dried, then the stems and veins are removed, leaving only the most tender and nutrient-rich parts, called tencha. Finally, the tencha is ground slowly with a stone grinder to produce a fine powder: matcha.

Matcha today
Today, matcha is enjoyed all over the world, as much for its health benefits as for its unique taste and culinary versatility. It is rich in antioxidants, notably catechins, and contains a good dose of natural caffeine and L-theanine, an amino acid that promotes a state of relaxation without drowsiness. These properties make it a popular alternative to coffee.

Matcha is used not only as a traditional beverage, but also as an ingredient in many recipes, from desserts to savoury dishes. Its umami taste and vibrant color adds a unique touch to every preparation.

OUR UBE : A NATURALLY SWEET PURPLE YAM

Ube, this purple yam native to the Philippines, is as appealing for its natural color as it is for its sweet, slightly vanilla-like flavor. Increasingly used in cooking and beverages, ube is also appreciated for its many benefits, making it an interesting addition to a balanced diet.

A natural source of antioxidants
