Tea is one of the most consumed drinks in the world—in fact, it’s only second to water. For thousands of years, people around the world have enjoyed the calming effects and health benefits of tea. According to Chinese legend, tea was discovered in 2700 BC, when an emperor was purifying water in the shade of a tea tree. Several of the tree’s leaves blew into his pot, which ended up creating a brew that smelled, looked, and tasted wonderful.

Today, there are many different rituals around the world that celebrate tea and incorporate it into daily life. In Japan, powdered matcha is used during Japanese tea ceremonies. These lengthy ceremonies concern not just the tea, but also preparation of the home, how the tea is brewed, the order in which utensils are used, and how everything is cleaned. The color of the green tea and the delicacy of its taste are distinctive and important.
