A Brief History of Matcha
Matcha's origins date back to the Tang Dynasty in China, later finding its spiritual and cultural home in Japan. It became an integral part of Japanese tea ceremonies in the 12th century, popularized by Zen Buddhist monks. Sen no Rikyu, the celebrated tea master, was instrumental in refining the tea ceremony (Chanoyu) and establishing its principles.
Sen no Rikyu's Influence
Sen no Rikyu emphasized simplicity, humility, and a deep connection to nature, which are reflected in the four guiding principles of the tea ceremony: harmony (wa), respect (kei), purity (sei), and tranquility (jaku). These ceremonies were not just about drinking tea but also about the mindful appreciation of the moment, fostering a sense of peace and reflection.
