Learn how to make the perfect matcha tea!

Matcha, the unmistakable frothy drink with its signature green colour, has become a favourite in many fashionable cafés. Packed with antioxidants, it is also a very healthy drink. 

Unlike Green Tea, which is made by steeping the loose leaves in hot water, matcha is a powdered tea that is whisked or mixed with hot water (or milk). Matcha is made from the entire green tea leaves ground up into a fine powder. As the whole leaf is consumed, matcha provides all the nutrients and health benefits of green tea (fight against free radicals and cell damage, anti-aging effect on skin, protection of cardiovascular system, fat-burning action…) in a super-concentrated form. A cup of Matcha has ten times the amount of antioxidants that a cup of green tea has!
