Done With Coffee? Try Matcha
When I tell people my go-to drink is matcha, I get the same responses, which I’d like to address.
- What is that? — It’s finely ground green tea. Unlike green tea leaves, they’re shade-grown and for weeks before harvesting. It comes in powder form.
- Oh, I love matcha, it’s my daily Starbucks order — Umm, ok so once I asked them to show me their raw powder, it was a dull culinary version of matcha and was mixed with sugar, so of course, you love it!
- I don’t like the taste, it tastes of grass — There’s a chance you’re making it wrong. Matcha is easily watered down or burnt, leaving it tasting bitter and grass-like. Check out my article which contains a step-by-step and see if this changes your mind. Practice does make perfect.
