As Summer is neatly over, let's prolong it with vibrant Matcha.
Matcha is a powdered green tea that's highly regarded for its vibrant colour, distinct flavour, and potential health benefits. It's made from shade-grown tea leaves that are ground into a fine powder, resulting in a concentrated and rich taste.
In the grades of Matcha, there is a distinction to be made.
One of the highest grades, Imperial ceremonial, stands out for its superior quality.
Please note that matcha grades can differ based on factors such as quality of leaves, processing techniques, and harvesting seasons.
The Gold Standard ceremonial grade provides a well-rounded matcha experience with a harmonious blend of flavours.
The Silver ceremonial grade offers a satisfactory matcha experience with a touch of bitterness and a gentle aroma.
Matcha is often used in traditional Japanese tea ceremonies and can also be incorporated into various recipes, such as lattes, smoothies, and desserts. Its unique processing method preserves a higher amount of antioxidants and nutrients compared to other green teas.
One of our favourites is Matcha and Orange cocktails. Highly recommend trying it.
