A Gentle Guide to Japanese Tea

Japanese tea is not only a tradition, but a quiet companion to everyday life. Here, we share simple ways to enjoy matcha and explore the beauty of Japanese tea through the lens of AMENOTEA.

What is Matcha?

Matcha is a traditional Japanese tea made from finely ground green tea leaves. Because the tea leaves are consumed whole, matcha offers a rich aroma, vibrant colour, and deep flavour in every sip.

Ways to Enjoy Matcha

  • Traditional

    Prepared with a whisk and hot water, matcha invites a calm and mindful moment — a quiet ritual to slow down and savour the present.

  • Modern

    Matcha can be enjoyed casually as a latte or iced drink, blending naturally into modern lifestyles.

  • Creative

    From desserts to creative recipes, matcha adds depth, colour, and gentle bitterness to sweet creations.

Beyond Matcha

Japanese tea offers many expressions beyond matcha.

Hojicha, with its roasted aroma and low caffeine content, is especially loved for moments of rest and relaxation.

Tea in Everyday Life

There is no single right way to enjoy Japanese tea. In the morning, during a break, or at the end of the day - let tea find its place naturally in your life.
