Today I’m drinking matcha under the cherry blossoms in honor of @beecurious who taught me to dive even deeper into tea culture in Japan. 

It is said matcha tea has a deep
connection with Zen Buddhism, as the practice of drinking tea was made popular by the founders of the Rinzai sect. In those days, tea was more a sort of medicine than a luxury item, filled with vitamins and even caffeine to sharpen the mind. After all, Zazen meditation can make us a bit sleepy at times, so tea was there to keep the practitioners awake.  I spent the morning in meditation and now it’s time to relax and enjoy the caffeine.

I’m trying to post more about the little random things I do in Japan. Just trying to think of a better way to share recommendations and stuff without hosting a full blown blog/website. Still chewing on it.
