What you're talking about is the green tea we drink everyday.
The green tea used in the tea ceremony and foods (especially deserts) is incredibly strong powdered green tea. It doesn't taste like hot water at all. In fact, it's so strong that it will make you gag the first time.

Is the tea you're referring to 抹茶? I visited a tea house during my time in Fukuoka, and while it was strong, I didn't gag. While I don't have the greatest memory of the taste, I'll agree that it's nothing like a regular cup of green tea.
