What Is Ceremonial-Grade Matcha Tea, And How Is It Different From Culinary-Grade Matcha
Matcha tea has taken the world by storm—most people, particularly those into health and fitness, reap its benefits and recommend others to try it. But what type of matcha tea is beneficial—ceremonial grade or culinary grade? Since there are two types, it always creates confusion among consumers. If you have been in the same dilemma and wondering about the difference between the two matcha types, we have mentioned what you need to know below. 
Most brands promote ceremonial-grade matcha, claiming it is superior to culinary grade. Although the ceremonial grade is made of tea leaves of higher quality than the culinary grade, both types are cultivated and processed for different purposes and preparations. Japanese tea farmers intentionally cultivate both types of tea leaves in different periods because tea leaves yield different characteristics when harvested in different seasons. 
Farmers shade Camellia Sinensis, the green plant, in darkness for a month before harvest to protect delicate leaves from frostbite. Shading plants also boost nutrient production by suppressing photosynthesis, preventing amino acids from converting into catechins. Lack of sunlight during shading produces thinner, dark-colored delicate tea leaves. 
Ceremonial-grade matcha leaves and buds are picked during Ichibancha, meaning ‘first tea,’ between April and May. Young tea leaves are found on tea bushes’ tops and are extremely delicate. These leaves contain more chlorophyll than older ones, often harvested for the culinary grade. On the other hand, culinary-grade matcha leaves are harvested during Nibancha, meaning ‘second tea,’ or Sanbancha, meaning ‘third tea,’ between June and July. These older leaves are exposed to more sunlight and have a bolder flavor than younger ones. 
The ceremonial grade has a more vibrant and darker green shade because tea leaves contain higher chlorophyll concentrations. So, it’s never a good idea to judge the quality of matcha tea solely on its color. Another crucial thing to remember is oxidation turns green tea leaves or powder brown. Chemical reactions occur naturally when matcha tea leaves or powder are exposed to oxygen, light, and heat. It’s best to store them in airtight containers in the refrigerator or freezer. 
Regarding health benefits, ceremonial-grade matcha tea has a higher caffeine and l-theanine content, while culinary-grade matcha has higher catechin (an antioxidant) content. Though most people prefer ceremonial-grade matcha tea over culinary-grade matcha, you should choose the grade that suits you best and matches your preference. While many people drink matcha tea, others prepare cookies and desserts. We suggest purchasing the ceremonial grade if you’re a coffee drinker who wants to switch to a beverage that contains caffeine but doesn’t give you a jittery feeling. Though caffeine is higher in matcha tea than in coffee, it keeps you calm; no wonder it’s a perfect tea for meditation. Look for online sellers well-known for preparing premium ceremonial-grade matcha teas in small batches to the taste and freshness of this Japanese tea.

Made some matcha focaccia via Archie Cartwright's recipe :) pretty sure I fucked up the focaccia part but damn if it doesn’t have a great matcha flavor (my favorite !!) <33
ignoring my possibly terrible baking when it comes to bread (tastes good tho) Go listen to Fawx & Stallion by @224bbaker and support their season 2 crowdfund! wonderful podcast and such a delight to listen to <3

tea recommendations? for someone who likes matcha, oolong, and jasmine tea?
Hmm, if you like jasmine teas, definitely try Dragon Pearls, its a green jasmine tea in these little balls, it tastes and smells great! It's also fun to look at the pearls unfold.
For oolongs, if you want something softer and flowery, try Gui Hua, it has a very light taste and smells amazing.
Idk what to reccommend for matcha, since I'm not that educated in different types. But I've had a Houjicha matcha once, it tasted almost like genmaicha in my opinion 🍚. So it wasn't so grassy like a regular matcha. Worth a try.
Never got asked a question like this, so i hope it helps! <3

Tea Ceremony
Tea Ceremony, Yael Rowan, 2022
Tea Ceremony is a solo journaling TTRPG. Your character is a courtier late in Japan's Heian period, seeking to impress a higher-ranked individual for a specific purpose. You can choose a purpose if you're familiar with the period, but suggestions (in the form of random card-draw tables) are provided in case you aren't inspired. Succeed in your ceremony, and what you want is yours. Everything is written as if the character themselves were the one doing the journaling.
You start by writing down your plans for the calligraphy on the scroll, the arrangement of the flower, your clothing, the rest of the meal, and, of course, the presentation of the tea itself. You're encouraged to describe these in lavish, vivid detail and to imbue each with meaning. There's a page on each of the ceremony's aspects so that you have some idea of what you're saying. (The game also reminds you that you don't need to be exact here, and the game is more about your character's feelings than your historical knowledge.)
Copious random tables are provided. You can find out everything about the person you're entreating, from the style of their boots to the accent in their voice to what they want from you. You can discover what your friends think about the visitor, what your days have been like recently, what the kitchen has available, all sorts of things to help you set the stage.
In the second phase of the game, your friends and servants tell you about the visitor, and you write your reactions - fear, anxiety, hope, excitement. You finish by writing that the ceremony is about to begin. You use the next set of random tables to find out how the ceremony goes, and then you journal a third time, exploring your character's feelings about what happened.
Overall, this is a neat game that's a combination of freeform RPG and historical/cultural supplement. I can imagine using it for The Blossoms Are Falling, or possibly for games set in later-era Japan like Sengoku. I can imagine Exalted borrowing heavily from this as well. The art is taken from Hanafuda cards, which fits very nicely.
Tea Ceremony is on http://NotCoC.jp/, Japan's equivalent to DriveThruRPG. ("CoC" is Call of Cthulhu, which is the most popular western RPG in most of Asia, so the URL is basically the equivalent of naming your website "It's not D&D".) It's $12, which is slightly high for a solo journaling game, but it goes on sale pretty regularly.
