☁️ All about Matcha Tea
Matcha is more than just green tea. This powder, which is used in the Japanese tea ceremony, has a wealth of health benefits, but also a special preparation method. In this article, we'll explore everything you need to know about matcha tea – from its preparation to its benefits, and we'll also show you how to enjoy it in your everyday life.
☁️ What is Matcha?
Matcha is a powder made from finely ground green tea. Unlike regular green tea, in matcha we consume the whole plant, which means we ingest all the nutrients, including caffeine, amino acids and antioxidants. The origin of matcha is in Japan, where it is used for ceremonial purposes, but in recent decades it has gained popularity all over the world.
☁️ How to Prepare Matcha Tea?
Preparing matcha tea is an art based on several key steps. For the perfect tea, you need to carefully select quality matcha powder and use the appropriate accessories, such as the traditional Chawan (matcha bowl), Chasen (bamboo whisk), and Chashaku (matcha spoon).
-
First, it is necessary to sift the matcha, in order to avoid lumps.
-
Next, put 1–2 grams of matcha powder in the Chawan and add 70 ml of warm water (about 80°C).
-
Use the Chasen to quickly mix in a "W" shape until you get a nice foam.
🌿 For a perfect result, you can use our Electric Fouet, which will allow you to mix faster and easier. Also, don't forget to use a quality ceremonial matcha such as Emerald Cloud (Nuage d’émeraude) or Imperial Cloud (Nuage impérial), which will make your tea even better.
☁️ What Are the Benefits of Matcha?
Matcha tea offers a number of health benefits not found in regular teas. Here are a few reasons why you should include matcha in your daily routine:
-
🌿 Rich in antioxidants: Matcha is rich in catechins, which help fight free radicals in the body.
