Matcha - 1.5 oz Loose Tin Description: The origins of Matcha can be traced all the way back to the Tang Dynasty in China. This dynasty spanned the 7th – 10th centuries and during this time, Buddhist monks steamed tea leaves to form into bricks, making their tea harvests easier to transport and subsequently trade. These tea bricks were prepared by roasting and pulverizing the leaves then mixing the resulting tea powder with water and salt.
