Matcha the Magical Energy Boost You’ve Been Missing

Hey there, tea lovers (and soon-to-be matcha fanatics)! Let’s talk about the green gem that’s been taking over the world of wellness: matcha. Not just your average cup of green tea matcha is packed with flavor, loaded with benefits, and oh-so Instagrammable.

What’s the Big Deal About Matcha?

Well if matcha were a person, let's just say it’d be that friend who somehow does yoga, runs a successful business, and still has time to bake cookies. It’s a total overachiever in the best way. Why? Matcha is rich in antioxidants, especially epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which helps fight free radicals and promotes glowing skin. It also gives you a gentle energy boost thanks to its natural caffeine and L-theanine combo, which keeps you focused without the coffee jitters and crash. Plus, it’s known to support metabolism and promote relaxation. Honestly, matcha is the multitasking hero we all aspire to be.

But First, What is Matcha?

Matcha has been a part of Japanese tea ceremonies for centuries. Some say that the tea ceremony is at the heart of Japanese culture. Matcha is a Japanese finely ground powder made from specially shade-grown green tea leaves. Unlike regular tea, where you steep the leaves and toss them, with matcha, you consume the entire leaf in powdered form. This means you’re getting ALL the good stuff, from the antioxidants to the vibrant green color that screams “healthy vibes.” Our matcha is produced by cultivators in Uji, Japan. Our matcha is made from the very first harvest in spring for the highest quality.

How to Make the Perfect Cup of Matcha

Okay, so now you’re intrigued, right? Let me walk you through making a great cup of matcha that’s frothy, smooth, and absolutely delicious.

1. Start with the fine, velvety smooth powder. Add 1 teaspoon (2g.) of matcha powder to a bowl. If you’re feeling fancy, use a traditional matcha bowl, but any small bowl will do.

2. Add hot water. Pour in 2oz. (1/4 cup) of hot water, around 175°F (80°C). Pro tip: Don’t use boiling water—it’ll make your matcha bitter, and we’re making only the best here.

3. Whisk it up! Grab a bamboo whisk (or a regular whisk in a pinch) and whisk in a zigzag motion—think "M" and "W" shapes. Keep whisking until it’s frothy and smooth, like the surface of a tiny green latte.

4. Customize your masterpiece. Top it off with more water for a traditional tea experience or your favorite milk (hello, oat milk fans!) for a creamy matcha latte. Want extra sweetness? Add a touch of honey or maple syrup. My favorite is honey and a little vanilla.

   
   

And there you have it—a perfectly frothy, vibrant green cup of matcha, ready to be sipped and savored.

Why You’ll Love Matcha (If You Don’t Already)

Matcha isn’t just a drink—it’s an experience. The process of making it feels meditative, and the end result? A warm, earthy hug in a cup. Plus, matcha is versatile. You can use it in lattes, smoothies, baked goods, or even as a pop of color in your desserts. (Matcha pancakes, anyone?)

So whether you’re looking for a caffeine boost without the crash, glowing skin, or just a moment of zen in your busy day, matcha’s got your back.
