Hello, all matcha enthusiasts! Let’s celebrate a special occasion together today.
Today, February 6th is known as “Matcha Day”. It is designated as “Matcha Day” by the Nishio City Tea Industry Promotion Council in Commemoration of the 120th Anniversary of Nishio Tea Founding. The decision to mark this date as “Matcha Day” stems from the association with the Japanese tea ceremony tool known as “furo” (風炉), used in the process of heating water in the kettle. In the world of tea ceremony, there is a tool called “furo,” and the term is associated with the numbers “2” and “6.” Using the clever wordplay of “fu (2) ro (6),” February 6th was chosen to be designated as “Matcha Day.”
