If you travel to Japan, please buy all the matcha you can and give what you buy to the Japanese so the matcha can remain in Japan and be used by the Japanese. Thanks to overseas influences, Japan is experiencing a matcha shortage and it is impacting the culture of Japan

how can this be solved? shortage of matcha

Maybe it can be grown elsewhere - Sri Lanka?

How is this impacting the culture of Japan? Can’t someone just make more matcha?

Maybe - I think it’s like Balsamic Modena or Champagne. It’s not just green tea, it’s grown a specific way and primarily in Japan (well for now). Apparently Vietnam and China are trying to grow it but it takes around five years. https://archive.is/20250826185759/https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/08/26/matcha-shortage-green-tea-japan/

This won't count as me being a performative male, right?

How do you get out of the burnout cycle? I’ve felt overwhelmed for a while and now I’m in the “can’t function at all” stage.

Any tips on how to get re-engaged, since the overwhelming feeling will come back?
