Matcha is a finely ground tea made from tea leaves that are shaded from the sun before harvesting.

Finally, the best leaves are plucked and slowly ground (about 30g per hour) to reduce oxidation.

About Paulownia
Paulownia (kiri in Japanese), is known as the “Princess Tree” and is closely tied to female identity. It was once customary to plant a paulownia tree when a baby girl was born, with some wealthy families planting up to three saplings per daughter. The fast-growing tree would mature as the girl did, so that when she reached the age of marriage it could be cut and made into wooden articles for her dowry. On her marriage day, the parents would present her with a chest of paulownia wood carved from her tree, to store kimono and other fine garments.
