The history of Matcha:
Since the Ming Dynasty, China has been popular in brewing tea, and the tea ceremony of matcha in China has been lost, and the tea mill, the crystallization of ancient civilization in China, has also disappeared, and the history of matcha in China has been dated.
It is recorded in The Five Cooks of Tea Classics that in the Tang Dynasty, when making tea for drinking, the tea should be roasted first, then ground and sifted, and then boiled. Grinding tea means grinding tea into "fine rice", that is, the size of half a grain of rice. As for the boiled tea, according to Lu Yu's Tea Classic, tea and soup are still separated, and the soup is still drunk.
From the fact that tea needs to be pounded into granules and boiled into fine rice, it shows that as early as 12 years ago in the Tang Dynasty, there were traces of matcha in China.
At the beginning of the 21st century, Japanese scholars studying in China brought matcha back to the motherland and established the first matcha factory in China, Shanghai Yuzhi Matcha Co., Ltd. in Pudong New Area, Shanghai. A number of matcha equipments were developed and patented, which ended the previous history and ushered in the second spring of matcha in China. Guide China Matcha to the world.
