Preparation
What you need to know.
Though matcha may have astounding health benefits, we first came to know of it as one of Japan’s most popular flavours of beverage and confectionery. Matcha-flavoured cakes, chocolate, muffins, and the sublime green tea ice cream are all big favourites with Japanese consumers. Matcha lattes, smoothies and frappes are staples of Japan’s biggest beverage chains. Matcha is not just the world’s most powerful tea, its one of the greatest food ingredients, whose wonderful taste is matched by its unique versatility.
One word of warning: Matcha is a living food and as such should never be prepared with boiling water. 80 degrees Celsius maximum.
