Matcha Green Tea - a potent green warm beverage - has fast become a popular choice for many people to brew-up most mornings. In fact, matcha has made some big moves lately; a few months ago it was knocked back as a shot by front row fashionistas at London Fashion Week, last year foodie Ella Mills (aka Deliciously Ella) transformed matcha into a healthkick latte at her London MaE Deli. Now it’s even made its way into a whole host of tasty snacks. So what exactly is the deal with matcha tea?
The green stuff is one of those ‘love or hate’ things – despite hitting the mainstream in a big way last year, it’s not your standard cuppa. For some, the organic flavour gives off an inviting and vegetal aroma, but those who aren’t so invested in the superfood menu might find it tastes a bit like seaweed water warmed-up.
