🍵 阿品伯的茶行聊天室 🍵 A-Pin Bo’s Tea House Chatroom 第十三集｜日本抹茶 Episode 13｜Japanese Matcha 嘿大家～歡迎來到今天的茶時光 ☕ Hey everyone, welcome to today’s tea session ☕ 今天我們要聊的是近年在全世界都很受歡迎的茶——日本抹茶。 Today we’re talking about a tea that has become very popular worldwide — Japanese Matcha. 你知道嗎？ 抹茶其實是把整片茶葉磨成極細的粉末，沖泡時不是浸泡，而是直接把茶粉打入水中飲用，因此等於是把整片茶葉都喝下去。 Did you know? Matcha is made by grinding whole tea leaves into a very fine powder. Instead of steeping the leaves, the powder is whisked into water, meaning you drink the entire tea leaf. 抹茶的原料通常來自遮陰栽培的茶樹（與玉露類似），因此葉綠素與胺基酸含量較高，茶色翠綠，味道濃厚。 Matcha is usually made from shade-grown tea leaves (similar to Gyokuro), which increases chlorophyll and amino acid content, giving it a vibrant green color and rich flavor. 它屬於綠茶的一種，但因為整葉食用，因此營養攝取也相對較高。 It is a type of green tea, but because the whole leaf is consumed, the nutritional intake can be higher. --- 🌿 日本抹茶怎麼沖？ 🌿 How to Prepare Matcha? 水溫 Temperature 👉 約 70°C～80°C 👉 Around 70°C–80°C 水溫過高可能讓抹茶變苦。 Water that is too hot may make the matcha taste bitter. --- 抹茶粉量 Matcha Amount 👉 約 1–2 克（約半茶匙） 👉 About 1–2 grams (around half a teaspoon) --- 沖泡方式 Preparation 👉 將抹茶粉過篩 👉 Sift the matcha powder 👉 加入少量熱水 👉 Add a small amount of hot water 👉 使用茶筅快速打出泡沫 👉 Whisk with a bamboo whisk until foamy --- ☕ 喝起來的感覺 ☕ Taste Profile 茶湯濃綠細滑 Rich green and smooth texture 味道濃厚帶微苦 Bold flavor with slight bitterness 帶有明顯旨味（Umami） Distinct umami taste 口感綿密順滑 Creamy and smooth mouthfeel --- 🌱 傳統觀點的效果 🌱 Traditional Benefits 提神醒腦 Boosts alertness 幫助放鬆 Promotes calmness 促進代謝 Supports metabolism 常見於日本茶道文化 Commonly used in Japanese tea ceremonies --- 🧬 西方醫學怎麼看？ 🧬 Western Medical Perspective 抹茶含有高濃度的兒茶素（特別是EGCG）、茶多酚與L-茶胺酸。 Matcha contains high concentrations of catechins (especially EGCG), polyphenols, and L-theanine. 研究顯示抹茶可能有助於： Research suggests matcha may support: ✔ 抗氧化作用 ✔ Antioxidant activity ✔ 提升專注力 ✔ Improved focus ✔ 促進新陳代謝 ✔ Metabolic support ✔ 壓力調節 ✔ Stress regulation --- 🎙 阿品伯的小提醒 🎙 A-Pin Bo’s Reminder ✔ 適合早上或下午飲用 ✔ Best enjoyed in the morning or afternoon ✔ 抹茶咖啡因較高，不建議晚間飲用 ✔ Matcha contains more caffeine, avoid late at night ✔ 選擇品質好的抹茶，風味會差很多 ✔ High-quality matcha makes a big difference in flavor --- 今天的日本抹茶，就聊到這裡。 That’s it for today’s Japanese Matcha episode. 下次我們可以聊聊—— 抹茶和煎茶到底有什麼差別？ 為什麼抹茶會變成甜點界的明星？ Next time, we’ll talk about — The difference between Matcha and Sencha, And why matcha became a star ingredient in desserts. 🍵 你平常會喝抹茶嗎？ 🍵 Do you usually drink matcha? 留言跟阿品伯聊聊吧。 Leave a comment and let’s talk tea.
