"More diversity in the way tea should be"
Only rare new tea is made into a whole powder (powder)
People and tea can have a variety of charms. Everyone is different, everyone is good. I don't think there's a right answer. I feel that Japan's tea culture is becoming more polarized, with traditional cultures such as the tea ceremony remaining in a relaxed manner, while fast food culture such as Japan tea in PET bottles, which can be obtained anywhere, has become the mainstream. There should be more variety in how to drink and drink tea. From that idea, I came up with the idea of powdering Japan tea like matcha.
Why did we make tea leaves into powder? There are three main reasons.
【Ease】
It is easily soluble in water as well as hot water, so anyone can easily brew it without a teapot. Through trial and error, we have created a unique fine-grained powder in microns. It clears the throat well and mixes easily with water. The carefully selected tea leaves are so delicious that you will wake up.
[Without leaving behind nutrition]
It is said that tea was introduced to Japan from China during the Heian period, but its role at that time was "medicine". The tea ceremony was originally a technique of taking medicine for health. Tea leaves contain very high nutrients and special ingredients, but it is said that about 70% of the nutritional components of tea leaves are discarded as tea husks when tea is brewed. By processing the powder, you can get all the nutrients of high-quality tea leaves.
[There are endless ways to enjoy]
Since it is in powder form, it can be quickly dissolved and mixed into drinks, cakes, cookies, and yogurt. Not only sweets, but also mixed with salt like matcha salt, there are endless ways to enjoy it with free ideas. Based on the idea of "eating tea leaves", the powder, which is made by finely powdering whole tea leaves, is also useful for cooking and cocktails.
