Matcha is a Japanese green tea that has been shade-grown, de-veined, de-stemmed and slowly stone ground into a very fine powder. Matcha isn’t steeped, it’s “eaten.” Matcha drinkers benefit from a higher concentration of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and fibre than are found in any other tea, making matcha one of the healthiest beverages on the planet. To match the potency of antioxidants found in a single serving of matcha, you would need to drink at least 10 cups of brewed green tea. Traditional matcha is also very simple to make. Pour ½ cup of hot water over ½ teaspoon of sifted powder, froth it (with a traditional bamboo whisk or an electric milk frother), and enjoy! With zero sugar and virtually zero calories, matcha is the ultimate “zenergy” drink.
