Food against cancer

Legendary country of the tea, Japan has high imprints of Buddhism in its history. The Japanese tea production, mainly at the foot of Mount Fuji, is important (about 125 000 tonnes) and is essentially centred on green teas. As with the other green teas, the Japanese ones are recommended for their properties (highly alkaline drinks, rich in minerals, vitamin E, zinc and fluorine) to help to counteract hypertension, ulcers and arteriosclerosis.

The Japanese tea ceremony

The Japanese tea ceremony, also called Cha No Yu is an ancestral ritual, although it is still practiced by 6 million Japanese people. It is much more standardized than the Gong Fu Cha (the Chinese ceremony).

The tea master is in charge of the ceremony and receives his guests. The guests have to wash their hands and rinse their mouths, then join the tea master on the tatami and kneel down.

So we can start the tea preparation, but at first, the tea bowl (Chawan) is purified with a towel tied onto the belt of the tea master. When this step is carefully accomplished, we can start the tea ceremony as such.

A small quantity of water (1 ladle) contained in a cast-iron kettle is decanted into the bowl to clean it again. Then, we put a bit of matcha at the bottom of the bowl and we pour the water over.

The matcha whisk in bamboo, also called Chasen, allows the beverage to be whisked. The blend is made according to sharp but very vigorous and accurate movements, to give a jade-green mousse.

This tea is offered to the first guest. It has to be drunk in three sips, and followed with comments full of praise. When the tea is drunk, the tea master gives his guest small pastries (Kaiseki), then serves a tea once again, but this time lighter. A shared time of contemplation closes the ceremony.

Infusion: instantaneous, 90°C.

Composition : 100% Pulverized Japanese Matcha green tea.
