    Chinese Gong Fu Tea Private Tasting Experience

    Japanese Tea Private Tasting Experience

    Blog

    Philosophy and tea have an intimate connection in China and Japan, where tea is not just a drink but a practice. In recognition of World Philosophy Day, we will delve into the connections between philosophy and tea in Japan. We'll see how tea has been shaped by wabi-sabi aesthetic philosophy and the idea of self-cultivation.
    This week, we are celebrating Japanese tea culture. When one thinks of Japan, the image of the tea ceremony often comes to mind. Tea has been an integral part of Japanese culture for centuries, with a rich history dating back to ancient times. This blog will take you on a journey through Japanese tea, from its fascinating history to more detailed explorations of teas like Sencha, Gyokuro, and Matcha.
    How is possible that matcha, which usually turns into a clump when in contact with water, suddenly dissolves beautifully when placed inside a tea bag? And how come are these tea bags more expensive than other green teas yet still way cheaper than matcha sold in pouches? Let the investigation begin.
    I feel our Matcha Month at PekoeTea would simply feel incomplete if we didn't try to make Matcha Mille Crepe Cake. It turned out to be easier than I had expected it to be and even though my layers were not perfect, I am still very pleased with the result.
    When entering the world of Japanese teas, one can quickly feel intimidated and overwhelmed when hearing about brown rice, stems, roasting, shading, tea powder and more.
    Due to its health benefits, matcha has seen a surge in popularity over the last years outside of its native home in Japan. At Pekoetea we think the best and most beneficial way to take your matcha is simply to drink it the way it is prepared in Japan.
