i'm starting a matcha business (so come tour the farm & factory with me)

[@teacuptrip]

I’m a certified Japanese tea instructor from Shizuoka. The Japanese tea industry is struggling due to farmer’s aging and the production of authentic tea has been declining. I’m happy that you guys came to Shizuoka and promote Japanese tea overseas!

[@melanie_meanders]

this makes me so happy, japan is the only place a lot of these teas can be grown!!! i’d love to visit one day too. the idea of elevation etc changing the flavour and quality is so cool!

I never usually buy products from digital creators purely based on the fact that I find that the cost does not compensate for what I am really getting, I'm just paying for a brand.

[@edamametan2025]

Matcha originated in China during the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD) and was later brought to Japan by Japanese monks who incorporated it into their meditation practices. The cultivation and production methods of matcha were refined in Japan, particularly in the regions of Uji in Kyoto and Nishio in Aichi. Today, Japan is renowned for producing high-quality matcha, and it has become an integral part of Japanese tea ceremonies and a popular ingredient in various culinary applications worldwide.
