Matcha Megumi: the ceremonial Japanese tea worth discovering
Matcha Megumi is a unique and precious tea produced in Japan. It is considered one of the most valuable and prestigious teas in the world. It is praised for its exceptional taste, refreshing aroma and powerful health benefits.
The production process of Matcha Megumi
The production process of Matcha Megumi is unique and requires a lot of time, attention and skill. It starts with selecting the very best tea leaves of the highest quality. These leaves are carefully selected and stored to avoid exposure to light, which can negatively affect the quality and taste of the tea.
Then the selected leaves are dried and powdered until they form a fine powder. This powder, Matcha, is then packaged and sold. The production process of Matcha Megumi is painstaking and time-consuming, but the result is a tea of exceptional quality and taste.
Tencha is used for the Matcha Megumi. The meaning of Tencha is 'ground tea'. This high-quality green tea has a cultivation process similar to that of another special Japanese tea, namely Gyokuro. Because Tencha is grown mainly for the production of Matcha, this tea itself is difficult to obtain, even in Japan.
History of Matcha Megumi
Matcha Megumi has a rich and interesting history dating back to the 12th century. It was originally produced and drunk by Zen monks as part of their meditation and concentration rituals.
