Matcha secrets
Izu Matcha is by far one of the best selling teas in our lineup. This increase has only been in the past year as more and more people become aware of the secrets of the Matcha tea.
Matcha, (pronounced Ma-cha) is a Japanese tea that is served and created differently than all other teas. Matcha leaevs are ground up into a fine powder and it is that powder that is placed directly into the cup. The process is exactly the same as what you'd do with a hot chocolate powder and how you'd place that in a warm cup of milk.
The key benefits of this are that tea is high in antioxidants, but by actually consuming the leaves (all be it they are shredded to a fine powder) you actually absorb a much higher percentage of minerals and antioxidants than through the regular steeping process.
Matcha and it's health benefits have made it the drink of choice for coffee chains around the world as their 'healthy alternative'. This is true, it is healthier than coffee, but it is best served naturally, not placed in a late, as the high amount of milk, etc will negate any positve effect the Matcha possesses.
Regardless, this gem of a drink is unique, different, and has been drunk since the days of the great Samurai swordsman of Japan (it was, in fact, their drink of choice)
- I only write for as long as it takes to steep my tea, so that's all for now.
Cheers
