Why is matcha so good?

Matcha is a unique green tea that stands out in both production and nutritional content. The tea plants are grown in the shade to develop extra chlorophyll, before the leaves are harvested and ground into a fine powder. Unlike regular green tea, where the leaves are steeped in water, you drink the whole leaf in powdered form. This creates a concentrated drink with a full flavor, a natural sweetness and a balanced bitterness with umami.

Natural benefits of matcha

• High caffeine content – ​​about 60 mg per cup (for comparison, coffee has around 80 mg)
• Caffeine can support concentration and mental performance
• L-Theanine can contribute to calmness, focus and relaxation
• May increase metabolism and support fat burning
• Extra high content of antioxidants compared to other types of tea

The combination of caffeine and L-Theanine provides long-lasting energy without the sudden peaks and crashes often experienced with coffee. When coffee feels too intense, matcha can be a more balanced alternative!

What is L-Theanine?

L-Theanine is a unique amino acid that can stimulate alpha waves in the brain, which is associated with a sense of calm and relaxation. This substance is found naturally in tea, but matcha has the highest content of any tea.

The combination of L-Theanine and caffeine in matcha can contribute to a balanced energy level, where you feel alert and focused without restlessness. This is one of the reasons why matcha is often chosen as a calmer alternative to coffee.

How to make matcha latte?

1. Heat water to 80 degrees. Or boil water and mix in a little cold water.
2. Take half a teaspoon (1-2 grams) in the cup and pour over the water.
3. Preferably use a whisk or small milk frother to mix. Alternatively, stir with a teaspoon.

1. Then heat the milk in a steamer or in your own way in a pot, microwave or similar.
2. Pour the hot milk over the matcha.
3. If you don't have a steamer that has given you rich milk, you can use the milk frother at the end to mix and aerate the latte.

We recommend: Match whisk, electric

Remember:
What will affect the result in the cup is the water temperature and the amount of matcha you use. If the water is too hot, the tea will be bitter. The cooler the water, the sweeter the tea will taste. Our suggestion is the most common preparation method called usucha. You can also make a stronger variation, called koicha, with double the amount of matcha and half the water.
