Matcha Tea
Matcha Tea is the product of Green Tea ground into a fine powder. Allegedly originating from Japan (despite being contested by China), this type of Tea takes on distinct characteristics seldom found in so-called “regular” Green Tea, owing predominantly to the processing method it undergoes.
By shade-growing the Tea for two weeks before harvesting, then grinding the whole leaf, Matcha Tea produces larger quantities of amino acids and chlorophyll. These components play a vital role in the well-documented Matcha Tea benefits.
Apart from its remarkable taste, which is often described as bold, grassy and astringent, Matcha Tea Benefits the mind, body and soul in a multitude of ways. According to the latest scientific research, the frequent consumption of Matcha Tea can reduce the risks of developing numerous chronic conditions, namely cardiovascular disease and type-2 diabetes. Furthermore, Matcha Tea can boost the metabolism, enhance cognitive function and support the immune system.
To drink Matcha Tea, please follow these steps:
-
Add a scoop of Matcha Green Tea (½ of a teaspoon) into your cup or traditional bowl.
-
Add the appropriate amount of warm, not boiling, water into your cup or traditional bowl (boiling water will inevitably burn the leaves).
-
Whisk the Matcha into the water using a traditional bamboo Matcha Tea Whisk until frothy.
-
Enjoy at your leisure.
