In just a few hours fall break begins. I'll be spending the first part catching up on school work and the second part, well, taking a break. I'll be posting some collaged post cards for the next week. I made them two years ago to invite my friends to a fall tea ceremony.
Matcha is the type of green tea used in Japanese tea ceremony. It is bright green because it's made from the tiniest new tea leaves and is not allowed to ferment. I'll never forget when my friend Non from Japan, who in looking at the brown liquid in her cup of what we in the US call green tea, simply said "Not green".
In tea ceremony, matcha is served in a bowl not a cup. This image shows a hand holding a fresh bowl of matcha.
