Green tea, is known to be incredibly healthy. It boosts energy
and
metabolism. It can increase your focus. It can improve over all skin
health. It's full of anti-oxidants. It has been rumored to battle
cancer successfully. There's even evidence that one of the antioxidants
found in green tea can generate new brain cells.
Matcha
is finely ground, high quality green tea powder. It has 137 times the
antioxidants found in brewed green tea. The higher quality the matcha,
the more sweet and intense the flavor. It is popularly used in tea,
noodles, as a dye, and in Japanese confections.
I'll
be honest. I don't like green tea. For years, I've had people trying
to push it on me, stating how healthy it is. If I can't stomach the
taste, it doesn't matter how healthy it is. Now, here's the problem.
What I've tried in the past has been factory brewed and bottled green
tea. Or green tea bags. I don't care for it at all. I find it bitter
with a chalky texture.
Matcha
is definitely different than green tea. It doesn't have the chalky
texture and it doesn't have the bitterness. I still wouldn't call it
sweet, but it's definitely more tolerable. My discovery into Macha has
been slow-moving. I began by putting a teaspoon in with my coffee
grounds when I made coffee. As I became more bold and began to realize
that I didn't hate green tea after all, we diversified into green tea
milk shakes, green tea and cilantro bread, and every other idea we could
come up with. Eventually, we grew incredibly bold and made green tea
cupcakes with green tea frosting. Delicious!
Honestly, my favorite way to consume green tea! It was sweet, but
still had a slight tea-ish flavor to it.

The old grey donkey, Eeyore stood by himself in a thistly corner of the Forest, his front feet well apart, his head on one side, and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly to himself, "Why?" and sometimes he thought, "Wherefore?" and sometimes he thought, "Inasmuch as which?" and sometimes he didn't quite know what he was thinking about.
