Whisking Gratitude: The Spirit of Jyoraku Matcha

This week, I sat down with my dwindling personal stash of Jyoraku Matcha and whisked a straight bowl. 🍵

It struck me again—the immense history and labor it takes to bring this tea to us. From carefully shaded tea fields in Kyoto, to the meticulous stone-grinding of tencha, every sip is the result of generations of knowledge and care.

Jyoraku Matcha was created to embody the Way of Tea (茶道, sadō). At its heart, this practice isn’t just about preparing tea—it’s about being present, giving gratitude, and honoring the purpose behind why we do things.

So next time you whisk matcha, pause. Sip slowly. Feel the lineage you’re connected to. And thank yourself for making space for peace, beauty, and presence in your day. 💚
