EP 186: Matcha Masterclass: The Truth About Matcha
The True Meaning of Matcha: History, Culture, and the Healing Ritual
In this special longform episode, you’ll discover the deep, often untold story behind matcha — where it really comes from, what it really means, and why it matters. If you’ve ever felt peace, clarity, or healing from a cup of matcha, this episode is your invitation to go deeper.
You’ll learn how matcha originated with Zen Buddhist monks, how it became a sacred part of Japanese tea ceremony, and how its quiet power has been passed down through generations — including in my own family. I share personal stories, cultural context, and the wisdom that’s been kept alive through ritual and respect.
This isn’t just about tea. It’s about reclaiming origins, honoring heritage, and asking thoughtful questions about wellness, appropriation, and integrity. You’ll walk away with a richer understanding of matcha, and hopefully, a new lens for how you approach your own healing practices.
This episode is for anyone who values culture, intention, and truth. It’s for those who want to move beyond the trend and toward something deeper.
