Characteristics and Production Method of Uji Matcha<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The most distinctive characteristics of Uji matcha are its bright green color and rich flavor.
The secret lies in the way the tea leaves are cultivated and processed.
The tea leaves used to make matcha are called \u201ctencha\u201d and are grown under a cover that shades them from direct sunlight for several weeks after the first sprouts appear.
During this process, catechins, the bitter component of tea leaves, are suppressed and amino acids, which bring out sweetness and flavor, are increased.
The harvested tea leaves are then steamed and dried, and the stems and veins are removed and finely ground on a stone mortar to produce a fine powdered form of matcha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

History of Uji Matcha<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The origin of Uji matcha is said to be that the Zen monk Eisai brought back tea seeds from China during the Kamakura period (1192-1333).
Later, in the Muromachi period (1336-1573), the soil and climate of Uji were recognized as suitable for tea cultivation, and the name Uji tea spread.
In particular, Uji matcha played an important role in Sen no Rikyu’s perfection of the tea ceremony during the Azuchi-Momoyama period, becoming a symbol of the tea ceremony culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Enjoy Uji Matcha<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Uji matcha is enjoyed not only in the traditional tea ceremony, but also in a variety of modern styles.
It is not only drunk as koicha (thick tea) or usucha (thin tea) used in tea ceremonies, but is also widely used as an ingredient in sweets, beverages, and cooking.
Products such as matcha lattes, matcha ice cream, and matcha chocolate are popular both in Japan and abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
