I’m back!
It’s been a bit of a while but I’m back. Happy new year! I know I’m about six weeks late but nevermind.
Can I say that I am absolutely in love with Matcha Tea at the moment, and have been for the past year and a half! For those of you who dont know what Matcha Tea is, I’ll give a very brief description:
Matcha Tea is ground up green tea leaves. The powder is a very fine green powder that is then whisked in water and/or milk to make a cup of tea.The health benefits of matcha tea exceed those of ordinary green tea, because when you drink matcha tea you ingest the whole leaf, not just the brewed water. One glass of matcha is extremely high in antioxidants (in particular Catechins) and chlorophyll.
The reason why I call it ‘The Green Buzz’ is because one cup of Matcha Tea gives you a nice gently prolonged buzz, that’s unlike drinking any other caffeinated drink and of course because the tea is green. Give it a try. I buy my tea from a company called Ocha Tea http://www.ocha-tea.co.uk/greenTea.asp. This company has a wide range of Green Tea and other Japanese Teas and their customer service is great!
