But how did this humble tea leaf become an icon of Japanese culture and a symbol of health and well-being the world over?

Chinese origins

The history of matcha begins in China, where tea was first cultivated and consumed. As early as the 8ᵉ century, the Chinese began grinding green tea leaves into a fine powder, a method that was the precursor of matcha as we know it. This powder was used in Buddhist rituals to promote concentration and meditation, benefits still sought in the Matcha Originalour 100% organic and authentic matcha.
