Matcha Tea 50gr

Matcha is more than just a tea — it's a wellness philosophy rooted in Japanese tradition. It's made from the finest green tea leaves, ground into a fine, vividly green powder. The plant is shade-grown for weeks before harvest, to preserve all its chlorophyll, theanine and antioxidants. The result is a drink with mild caffeine, a gentle "umami" flavor and strong health benefits.

Matcha is considered a superfood, thanks to its high concentration of antioxidants (EGCG), vitamins, minerals and amino acids.

Antioxidants: Protect cells from free radicals and boost the immune system.

L-theanine: Helps with relaxation and focus, without the jitters caused by coffee.

Caffeine: Provides gradual, steady energy, with no sudden crashes.

Chlorophyll: Helps detoxify the body and supports blood alkalinity.

Vitamins A, C, E, K and B-complex: Boost immunity and skin health.

Its combined benefits include better mental clarity, improved metabolism, immune support and natural detoxification.

There are two main ways to prepare it — the traditional Japanese method and the modern one, for latte-style drinks.

Traditional method

Ingredients:

1 tsp matcha

60–70 ml hot (not boiling) water (~80°C)

Instructions:

Sift the matcha powder into a bowl.

Add a little water and whisk with a special bamboo whisk (chasen) in an "M" motion until foam forms.

Add the rest of the water.

Matcha Latte (modern version)

Ingredients:

1 tsp matcha

2 tbsp hot water

200 ml plant-based or cow's milk

Optional: 1 tsp honey, agave syrup or coconut sugar

Method:

Dissolve the matcha in hot water and whisk until foam forms

Heat or froth the milk.

Combine the two and stir. You can also enjoy it as a cold latte using chilled milk and ice (iced matcha latte).
