Thank you very matcha!

Anyone drink it or cook with it? Thanks to Matcha Maiden for your amazing sweet treat idea pictured … so pretty!

I enjoy a matcha latte when I can find one at a cafe, and I find it a nice alternative to plain tea. My local in Avondale Heights Particle Cinnamon makes an amazing latte.

Matcha is finely-ground powder of specially-grown and processed green tea. The green tea plants are shade-grown in the last three weeks before harvest and the stems and veins are removed in harvesting.

Fast facts:

  • one serving of matcha tea is the nutritional equivalent to 10 cups of regularly-brewed green tea
  • when drinking matcha you are ingesting 100% of the leaf and getting 100% of the leaf’s nutrients
  • powdered matcha tea has 137 times more antioxidants than normal green tea
  • boosts metabolism and burns calories
  • calms the mind and relaxes the body
  • is rich in fiber, chlorophyll and vitamins

The flavour is bitter at first, vegetal in nature with a sweet after taste. If you love green tea, you’ll love matcha!

Purchase matcha from Matcha MaidenΒ or Matcha Lab
