Matcha is a finely ground powder made from specially grown and processed green tea leaves. Unlike regular tea, matcha green tea is whisked into water or milk, allowing you to consume the entire leaf. It’s known for its vibrant green colour, smooth texture, and high antioxidant content.

Matcha green tea differs from regular green tea in how it's prepared and consumed. With matcha, you’re drinking the whole leaf in powdered form, which results in higher levels of antioxidants, nutrients, and caffeine. Regular green tea is brewed and then discarded, making it less concentrated.

Matcha has a smooth, earthy flavour with subtle bitterness and a natural sweetness. High-quality ceremonial matcha often carries a rich umami taste and a velvety texture, making it ideal for drinking straight or in matcha lattes.

Yes. Matcha is rich in antioxidants, especially EGCG, along with L-theanine, vitamins, and chlorophyll. The health benefits of matcha include improved focus, calm energy, and support for your immune system and metabolism. Many cafés and wellness brands use matcha as a clean, plant-based energy source.

Matcha contains moderate levels of caffeine. A standard serving (1 teaspoon or 2 grams) has about 60 to 70 mg of caffeine, less than a cup of coffee but more than most brewed teas. Thanks to its L-theanine content, caffeine in matcha is released more slowly, offering sustained energy without jitters or crashes.

Some studies suggest that drinking matcha green tea may support fat oxidation and metabolic health, especially when paired with regular exercise and a healthy lifestyle. While it’s not a weight loss solution on its own, matcha can be a helpful part of a balanced routine

To make a traditional matcha tea or latte:

1. Sift 1 teaspoon of matcha powder into a bowl or cup.
2. Add about 60 ml of hot water (not boiling, around 75–80°C).
3. Whisk in a W-shape motion using a bamboo whisk until frothy.
