Lore
The famous powdered green tea of the Japanese tea ceremony, matcha is made in several steps. First, the tender young leaves of the Gyuokuro plant are plucked. Then, they are made into tencha, whereby the veins of each leaf is removed and discarded. The remaining leaf is laid out flat to be dried. The final step is to take the dried tencha and grind them in specially created granite mills until they’re a silky fine powder. In chanoyu, guests often show their pleasure to the host by drinking a cup in three dedicated full sips.
