Chinese Matcha: A Tradition of Powdered Tea
Matcha originated in China during the Song Dynasty (960–1279) with Dian Cha (点茶), the practice of whisking powdered tea into a frothy drink. This method, blending flavor with an artful process, became central to tea culture.
In regions like Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Fujian, traditional techniques continue to produce powdered green tea. Chinese matcha offers a natural sweetness and fresh, green notes, distinct from Japanese styles.
This matcha connects to the origins of powdered tea, preserving its place in tea traditions.
