Chinese matcha tea by Long Man Tea.
Product Description
Matcha is a powdered green tea that was invented in China during the Tang Dynasty between the 7th and 10th centuries. Between the 10th and 12th centuries it became very popular. Over time, it became so popular that Zen Buddhist monks considered it an essential element of meditation. They believed that it cleared the mind and body.
Over time, the development of the tea industry grew along with the Chinese empire. A huge selection of loose-leaf teas, slowly replaced matcha. In Japan, the matcha brewing ceremony was an indispensable element of the functioning of Zen Buddhist orders, later the ceremony was taken over by the Shogun class.
