Matcha is a finely ground green tea where the whole leaves from the bush have been pulverized. It is considered one of the world's finest teas and Matcha is traditionally prepared in a slightly larger tea bowl (and then poured into a smaller one, Chawan) with a bamboo whisk, called the Chasen. And, as is the case here, the matcha jar is called a Chasutzu, which is a dark and airtight jar in which the matcha powder is stored, so that it does not oxidize. Often you buy the tea in a small jar with a plastic bag inside. If you are not a heavy user, the powder can remain in the small bag.
