I would like to offer you a cup of tea

In the invitation to a tea ceremony, the owner of the tea house writes, "I would like to offer you a cup of tea.
The main purpose of a tea ceremony is for the host to prepare a delicious cup of Koicha for his or her guests.
The process of making matcha itself is the same for Koicha and Usucha, but Koicha uses twice as much matcha as Usucha for one person.
Compared to usu-cha, koicha is richer in color and taste, and has a more refined aroma, flavor, and mellow taste.
The owner of the tea house kneads enough matcha for the number of guests in one bowl, and the guests drink it in turn, starting with the first guest.
I have written a lot about Matcha, but I think it is important to experience both teas, so if you have a chance, please do so.
