My Thoughts:
I love all the health benefits offered with matcha over regular green tea. With the antioxidant EGCG, vitamins, nutrients and amino acids by using matcha powder in breads, desserts, meats, and cocktails you get to enjoy the flavors of the dishes you love…but with a kick. I often add a teaspoon this kitchen grade green tea powder to my green smoothies and sprinkle a bit on our salads. This matcha green tea powder is from China, which produces 80% of the tea on the market today.
