Matcha

Matcha, like green tea, comes from the Camellia sinensis plant. However, it’s grown differently and has a unique nutrient profile that is higher in antioxidants, nutrients and caffeine than are typically present in green tea.

Studies of Matcha and its components have unearthed a variety of benefits, showing that it can help protect the liver, promote heart health and brain function, and even aid in weight loss. It also boosts the immune system and nourishes the skin.

When consumed as a traditional tea with hot water, matcha presents a bold and slightly bitter taste, coupled with a grassy and vegetal aroma. However, another popular way to enjoy matcha is by creating a latte. By adding honey and milk to matcha, it transforms into a creamy and indulgent beverage with a smoother, sweeter flavor profile. The honey adds a touch of sweetness, balancing out the bitterness of the matcha, while the milk contributes to a rich and velvety texture.
