what do you know about much ah here's a
simple explanation meet Emma she's
tasting much our flavored ice cream for
the first time and loves it but what is
matcha Emma knows it's a kind of tea but
what makes it different than regular
black tea Hido is a tea expert matcha is
a Japanese tea freshly plucked leaves
esteemed and then carefully dried the
dried leaves are then ground into a very
fine powder hand-ground with stone mills
for best quality matcha to drink much
are add hot water to the power dirty and
whisk well the leaves come from the same
tea plant camellia sinensis as Western
black teas but the way they are
processed and the final flavor are
completely different matcha is a way of
drinking tea that came from China to
Japan in the 13th century and then
evolved into a uniquely Japanese style
the appeal of matcha is the way it
offers all the nutritional benefits
found in tea as well as a host of amino
acids vitamins and minerals matcha is
also loaded with catechin an antioxidant
said to have many health and beauty
benefits many people drink much are
because it helps them relax this is due
to the presence of large amounts of the
amino acid thean I'm hearing that nuts
are contributes to beauty Emma's
interest deepens
matcha is very aromatic and slightly
bitter making it a perfect complement to
anything sweet but there's more too much
as appeal than flavor and nutrition in
the 16th century a tea master named Rick
you took Japan's tea culture to another
level by developing the tea ceremony
into what we now call saddle or way of
tea saddo
is about far more than just serving good
tea it covers everything from
architecture to design and selection of
utensils to formal rules for
entertaining guests let's watch a modern
tea master making much our in the tea
ceremony first she places a machchar
into a tea bowl then she adds boiling
water and uses a bamboo whisk called a
Chesham to mix in the tea powder when
the liquid becomes a creamy froth the
tea is ready both the person making the
tea and the person drinking it have set
roles to play and rules to follow
[Music]
this glimpse of the way of tea deepens
Emma's interest but making much are at
home that seems too difficult
don't worry says hit all matcha is easy
to get many stores sell it or you can
buy online and you don't need special
balls or implements drink it from a mug
mix the tea with a kitchen whisk or even
a spoon it's all ok Emma has bought her
first packet of matcha she makes much
oleh with the cookie to eat butter very
aromatic and slightly bitter sets off
the sweetness of the cookie creating a
taste sensation unlike anything ever sex
perience t' emma soon takes it to the
next level holding a tea ceremony for
her family the world of matcha is deep
and rewarding why not explore it for
yourself
