How Ceremonial Matcha Is Made in Japan | 170-Year Uji Tea Farm in Kyoto

What this video shows

From the guide “Matcha in Japan: Tea, Cafes and What to Order”: Matcha in Japan can mean a bowl of tea, a latte, a dessert, a packet to take home or a hands-on activity. Those choices are not interchangeable: they differ in preparation, ingredients and what you need to check before ordering.

The guide goes on: “Choose tea, a latte, dessert or an activity”. If you want to taste tea with as little guesswork as possible, ask whether the menu offers usucha or koicha and how each is prepared. Usucha is the thinner style; koicha is prepared more thickly.
