What is Matcha?

Matcha is a finely ground green tea powder that originates from Japan. Unlike steeped green tea, matcha is consumed in its entirety, giving it a richer, more concentrated flavor and vibrant green color. Not only does it bring a unique taste to desserts, but it also provides antioxidants and a gentle caffeine boost!
