Matcha \u2013 Many traditions, many possibilities<\/h1>

Nowadays, it is almost impossible to find someone who has not heard of matcha. However, just a few years ago, matcha was considered an absolute niche product \u2013 known primarily for its deep-rooted cultural significance in Japan.<\/p>

An export hit \u2013 and for longer than expected…<\/h2>

As our last post indicated, matcha has been around in Japan for several centuries. However, it originally came from China and was brought to the neighboring island by a Buddhist monk from the mainland. However, it was in Japan that it acquired its true character, which is now enjoying global popularity. This is because the techniques that still characterize it today were developed here:<\/p>

The tea plants are covered and shaded for at least 30 days before harvesting. As a result, the tea leaves begin to produce significantly more chlorophyll to compensate for the sudden lack of sunlight. This also increases the proportion of plant amino acids, which are responsible for the characteristic full-bodied taste and flattering sweetness of the finished product.<\/p>

Slowly but surely \u2013 the long process has its price…<\/h2>

After harvesting, the emerald green leaves are first gently heated over steam for a few seconds to prevent oxidation. This raw tea (called tencha) is then slowly ground using granite mills. This process is crucial, as using the wrong material for the mills or setting the speed too high could generate heat that would damage the precious tea. Under ideal conditions, each mill produces around 30\u201350 grams of high-quality matcha per hour.<\/p>

A culinary all-rounder \u2013 ancient craft, new creations<\/h2>

High-quality matcha is characterized by its bright green color and creamy, smooth taste. In addition to traditional preparation, it can also be used in modern recipes \u2013 for example, in desserts \u2013 such as in our example of affogato.<\/p>

To make it, whip your matcha until it is particularly frothy and pour it over your favorite ice cream. We recommend vanilla, pistachio, or raspberry. Perfect for a hot summer day or as the crowning glory of your dinner.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
