Matcha is made by powdering young, green tea leaves. The powder is vibrantly green, and when made into a tea has a unique, sweet taste without the slight bitterness associated with other green teas. Matcha can be used to replace morning or afternoon coffee when you need a pick-me-up. Add into smoothies for extra flavor. The beautiful color can be a fun addition to your baked goods!
