Extra Info:

Ground tea powder was originally developed in China. Known as mo cha, powdered tea emerged in China during the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD) and became popular during the Song Dynasty (960-1279 AD).Zen Buddhists in China used powdered tea to aid meditation, due to its calming effects. While the tradition of powdered tea declined in China, particularly after the Mongol invasion, Japanese monks traveling to China in the 12th century brought the practice of matcha to Japan, where it has been refined into a ceremony, an art form, and a spiritual practice.
