If you follow me on Instagram you’re probably aware of my infatuation for matcha tea. Matcha is a powdered Japanese green tea that makes part of the traditional Japanese tea ceremony, which is a spiritual experience that embodies harmony, respect, purity and tranquility. What’s more, it has powerful health benefits and an amazing taste.
Being a powder tea, you are actually consuming the whole leaf, rather than just an infusion. It has become my morning ritual, much like coffee is for most people. I carefully scoop out the vibrant green powder (trust me, it’s really green) from its tiny container into a mug, add in hot water and stir. Remember to allow boiling water to cool or your matcha will taste bitter though.
