Myoan Matcha - our green tea farm - japan

MYOAN EISAI

Myōan Eisai (1141–1215), a Japanese Tendai Buddhist monk, traveled to China twice in search of deeper spiritual knowledge. During his second trip (1187–1191), he encountered Chan (Zen) Buddhism and the practice of consuming powdered green tea a method developed by Chinese monks during the Tang and Song Dynasties. Monks steamed, dried, and pulverized tea leaves into a fine powder, whisking it with hot water to aid meditation. Eisai recognized this tea's power to induce "calm alertness" during long Zen sessions, a effect now attributed to the synergy of caffeine and L-theanine .

The Art of Brewing Matcha

Master the traditional Japanese techniques for the perfect cup

Brewing matcha is an art form that has been perfected over centuries in Japan. Unlike regular tea, matcha is whisked into hot water to create a smooth, frothy beverage that's both energizing and calming.

Start with high-quality matcha powder and water heated to 175°F (80°C). Use a bamboo whisk (chasen) to create the perfect froth, or our modern electric whisk for convenience. The key is to whisk in a "W" motion until the surface is covered with fine bubbles.

For the authentic experience, use a traditional matcha bowl (chawan) and bamboo scoop (chashaku). The bowl's wide shape allows for proper whisking, while the scoop ensures the perfect amount of powder - about 1-2 grams per serving.
