Japan produces some of the sweetest and, in my opinion, some of the best green tea in the world. Japan doesn’t just produce one type, but up to 20 different types of Japanese green tea.
Green tea
Matcha and green tea come from the same plant, but are actually quite different from each other. From the cultivation of the ways, to how you prepare them, there’s hardly any overlap!
I won’t lie, I love matcha but I saw no need for a traditional bamboo whisk for a really long time. The reality is that there are so many alternative ways to make matcha, with household items you may already own. It’s best to use these beforehand to see if you even like matcha.
