I love Matcha Lattes! Matcha is a green tea from Japan and is considered the best green tea because of its amazing health benefits, such as:
It contains an abundance of antioxidants, particularly catechin, which is the most potent and beneficial antioxidant.
It contains L-Theanine, which alters brain waves so that you can achieve calmness; and which also enhances memory and concentration. Although it contains a lot of caffeine, because of L-Theanine, it doesn’t cause nervousness and the jitters. In fact, the ancient Samurai drank Matcha tea in a ceremony before going into battle for these same reasons – energy and focus without the jitters.
The production process of Matcha is very complex. It involves picking the leaves, steaming, stemming, deveining, and then lastly grinding them. Be sure to purchase good quality Matcha; it comes in ceremonial grade, as well as culinary grade for baking or to make lattes and smoothies.
