What is Matcha Day?

Every year, February 6th is celebrated as “Matcha Day.”

This date was established in connection with “Furo no Hi” (風炉の日), a day related to the Japanese tea ceremony.
The furo (風炉) is a traditional tea utensil used to heat water, and the date was chosen based on a wordplay: “Fu (2) Ro (6).”

The Charm of Matcha 💚

Matcha is made by grinding whole tea leaves into a fine powder, making it highly nutritious.
It is particularly rich in catechins and theanine, which provide antioxidant properties and relaxation benefits.
In recent years, matcha has gained popularity not only in traditional tea ceremonies
but also in matcha lattes, desserts, and various culinary creations worldwide.
