Matcha

Matcha was used only during the Tea Ceremony. It was a powdered tea that was ground from fine leaves, rather than crushed ones. Matcha was dark green, strong, and very bitter. Sweets were served with it to deaden the bitter taste. GM's Survival Guide, p. 27 The tea was made by whisking the matcha powder in hot water, instead of the more common method of brewing. Sword and Fan, p. 137 The leaves came from a plant known as dan-cha. Winter Court: Kyuden Seppun, p. 56
