What is Matcha?
Matcha is a traditional Japanese green tea powder that has become increasingly popular worldwide due to its unique flavor and health benefits. Matcha is made by grinding specially grown and processed green tea leaves into a fine powder.
Unlike traditional green tea, matcha is consumed in its entirety, rather than steeping the leaves and discarding them. This allows the tea drinker to benefit from the full range of nutrients and antioxidants found in the tea leaves.
Matcha has a distinctive, rich flavor that is often described as earthy, vegetal, and slightly sweet. It is commonly used in traditional Japanese tea ceremonies, but can also be found in a variety of modern culinary applications, such as in desserts, smoothies, and lattes.
In terms of health benefits, matcha is known for its high concentration of antioxidants, particularly catechins, which are believed to have cancer-fighting properties. It is also thought to boost metabolism, improve cognitive function, and promote relaxation.
