Introduction to the World of Japanese Tea Ⅰ & Ⅱ : Learn, Brew and Taste Japan

“Tea time is a chance to slow down, pull back and appreciate our surroundings.”

- Letitia Baldrige

Tea is something that not only relieves your thirst, but allows you to relax or connect with others in a peaceful way. In this hectic society that we live in, it is very important to make even a few minutes that allow you to momentarily pause and empty your mind. Having tea time enables you to do this by concentrating on just one thing; making a cup of tea. This thought-like meditation is related to Japanese ZEN thoughts.

Why don’t you introduce something new to your daily life and drink Japanese tea?

By the way, when it comes to “Japanese tea”, what do you know about it?

Matcha? Green tea? Yes, matcha is Japanese tea, and we drink green tea more than black tea.

“We were in Japan once where they had 30 kinds of green tea. I thought there was one.”

- Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins

But as Billy said above, we have many kinds of Japanese tea other than matcha. Nowadays matcha is getting very popular as a flavor for snacks or a healthy beverage. However, few Japanese people actually drink matcha in their daily lives. What we normally drink is “Sencha” or “Hojicha”.

Also, tea is not just for pleasure but it’s good for you. Tea was originally medicine in China. for centuries, many scientists around the world have been researching and examining tea leaves to prove various health benefits and its potential power.

Moreover, tea is not just to drink, you can eat, you can cook with it, or it can make your life more efficient depending on how you utilize in your daily life.
