Matcha tea

Do you know matcha tea? We explain everything about this green tea!

Matcha tea (in Japanese = ground tea) is a green tea originally from Japan.

Obtained from young Tencha tea leaves, there is a very important process involved to finally obtain Matcha tea.

Deprived of sunlight for a few weeks, this plant benefits from a high chlorophyll content, which gives it its intense green color.

Its taste is very pronounced with a very vegetal flavor. Some say its taste is close to that of spinach and fresh grass with milky notes.

A very powerful tea, used by Buddhist monks for their tea ceremony.

In recent years, this tea has arrived in Europe for its taste as well as its benefits. You have certainly already seen a recipe for Matcha Latte or matcha cookies. :o)

High in caffeine, this ingredient contains many antioxidants.

Rich in chlorophyll, matcha gives preparations a beautiful green color. It is therefore perfectly possible to use it as a natural coloring.

In Japan, Matcha is an integral part of culinary culture. Matcha can be used in many recipes such as cakes, cookies, ice creams, ganaches for filling your chocolates, Matcha latte drinks and of course as tea…

It pairs wonderfully with red fruits and white chocolate.

Unlike other teas (black, white...etc), matcha tea powder does not need to be steeped. Simply add a little powder to your drink, biscuit or any other preparation.

Matcha tea is of course gluten-free, lactose-free and vegan.
