Matcha Powder
Matcha powder is a finely ground powder made from specially grown and processed green tea leaves, known for its vibrant green color and rich nutritional profile.
Matcha offers a flavor profile that’s distinct and probably unlike anything you’ve tasted before. It boasts a thick, milky consistency, with flavors reminiscent of steamed vegetables and a subtle hint of seaweed. While this description might seem unusual at first, developing an appreciation for matcha’s robust flavors can lead to a deep-seated craving for this unique Japanese matcha tea!
How to Make Matcha Powder Tea
Discover the simplicity of crafting the perfect cup of matcha tea with the following straightforward six-step guide
Step 1: Sift Your Matcha
Begin by sifting 2 grams of matcha powder into a bowl using a metal sifter to eliminate any clumps for a smoother tea
