OK, I'm going to ask this question even though I already know the answer, because hope never dies. Is there any way of using matcha green tea in soap, and preserving it's incredible color? I saw a bar of soap years ago, that said it was colored with matcha, but no details were given. I just found a great matcha/sencha blend at Costco, and it reignited my desire for that incredible green soap. Knowing full well how lye likes to turn everything brown, I still hope that one day I may figure out how it was done. I did a search here, with no positive results, but I'm holding out hope that someone out there has accomplished this magical feat. It's very nice tea to drink, but man, it would make one gorgeous soap!
