Matcha Leaf

Matcha Leaf (抹茶叶; pinyin: Mǒchá yè) is a plant in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2, and introduced during 3.5.1 update as an unlockable plant in Heian Era world.
Matcha Leaf will prevent any plants from stunning effects by healing them while prioritizing any zombies that able to stun them, for example Riot Police Zombie. He will launch matcha tea over obstacles and contains a splash damage in a plus shape, both stunning surrounding zombies afterwards.
Aside from his main abilities from above, Matcha Leaf also absorb any fog that being summoned by zombies, like Riot Police Zombie's smoke bomb and the fog from Dark Ages. He also can counter Ninjimp during surprise attack, as he can create fog tiles in 3x3 area and make Ninjimps confused which location that the smoke bomb explode into.
==Origins==
Matcha Leaf was based off matcha tea, the finely ground powder of specially grown and processed green tea leaves, traditionally consumed in East Asia, tough his translated name mentioned otherwise.
The second upgrade's name, "O"olong Tea, was based off another plant with the same name, but the "O" pun was based off how Matcha Tea officially gain a splash damage around 3x3 area, which is a circular shape.
His ability to heal plants from any stunning effects was way similar to how common matcha tea having stress-reducing effects.
