Green tea powder for intense tea enjoyment
Matcha is a finely ground powder made from specially grown and processed green tea leaves. Traditionally used in the Japanese tea ceremony, matcha has gained popularity due to its unique flavour and the many health benefits it is said to have. Matcha is said to be rich in antioxidants, promote concentration and have a stimulating effect on the metabolism. Unlike other types of tea, the entire tea leaf is consumed when drinking matcha, including all the valuable ingredients.
How is Matcha prepared?
The preparation of matcha is unique and ritualised. First, about half a teaspoon of matcha powder is sieved through a fine sieve into a bowl to avoid lumps. Then some hot, but not boiling water (approx. 80°C) is added. Traditionally, a bamboo whisk, the chasen, is used to whisk the matcha in quick, Z-shaped movements until a fine foam forms. The amount of water can vary depending on the desired intensity. A thick tea, koicha, requires less water and more matcha, while a thin tea, usucha, requires more water and less matcha. It is best to enjoy your matcha in a quiet, relaxed atmosphere to experience the full flavour.
Trend drink Matcha Latte
Matcha latte is becoming increasingly popular around the world. This drink combines the traditional Japanese matcha preparation with creamy milk and is not only extremely flavourful, but also a real energy booster. To make a perfect matcha latte, high-quality matcha powder is mixed with a little hot water to form a paste. Warm milk, preferably frothed, is then added to make the drink full-bodied and velvety. Whether with cow's milk, almond milk, soya milk or oat milk, the matcha latte can be easily adapted to suit different tastes and diets. A pinch of sweetness, be it honey or agave syrup, rounds off the flavour experience. Matcha latte can be enjoyed as a wonderful morning pick-me-up or as a relaxing break during the day.
