The astringent constituent in Japanese tea is a type of polyphenol called catechin. Japan has done a great deal with the humble tea leaf. For example some benefits of the catechin in the tea leaf can lower cholesterol in some cases. Roasted over charcoal at a high temperature and grown under shade for at least 20 days are one of the examples. The most popular Japanese tea might be ryokucha. Depending on the timing of picking the leaves, the grade, the price can be noticeably different.
We start a fire in the hearth, boil water in a tea kettle, and make tea using that water.
What everyone has to do is:
1. Warming a tea bowl thoroughly with hot water.
2. Putting matcha powder in it.
3. Pouring the hot water from the tea kettle over it.
4. Making the tea with a "tea whisk."
