Matcha Manufacturing Process: Authenticity in The Face of Modern Developments

Matcha is a tea made from a combination of the Japanese words Matsu, which means "to rub, smear, paint," and Cha, which means "tea." The art of drinking tea has been a part of Japanese culture for centuries. After it was introduced by a Buddhist monk and considered a luxurious status symbol, matcha tea has become a unique and main part of Japan's cultural identity.
