What is Matcha?
Matcha is a finely ground powder of green tea leaves grown in Japan. It’s known to be rich in antioxidants and many consumers tout the potential health benefits of drinking Matcha.
According to Healthline, there may be multiple benefits to drinking Matcha. One benefit to note is that the antioxidants may reduce cell damage and prevent chronic disease.
Healthline
It has a fairly strong green tea taste that some may describe as grassy or a little bitter. Because of that, many first time drinkers prefer to add milk and a little sweetener such as honey or maple syrup.
The caffeine value in a Matcha latte will vary based on brewing equipment and steeping method.
