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.
The Japanese tea ceremony is a centuries-old tradition closely tied to Zen Buddhist principles, and a popular way to experience Japanese culture. There are several variations on this ritual. At its base, powdered green tea (matcha) is prepared and served in accordance with strict rules. Oftentimes, wagashi (Japanese sweets) is served alongside the bitter green tea.

The history of the tea ceremony is about 800 years old.

★★★★★We enjoyed our time making Japanese desserts, nerikiri. Yuki is an excellent teacher. She gave us a lot of encouragement. Yuki took us step by step through each design, making the process feel very simple. We are very happy with our finished desserts. We learned so much and look forward to taking another of her classes.
