Why Shade Matcha is your best option

Shade matcha is your best option because it has more antioxidants and higher levels of chlorophyll than other types of matcha. It is also grown in cooler temperatures and shadier conditions, making it slightly sweeter and better tasting than other varieties. Shade matcha also retains its green color better after brewing due to the additional chlorophyll content. The high antioxidant content means it can help reduce inflammation in the body, as well as boost metabolism and support overall health.

Forget the traditional hot, bitter bowl of green tea- this smooth and refreshing drink will have you hooked!

Welcome matcha fanatics and newbies alike! Are you ready to uplevel your summer refreshment game? It's time to cool off in the heatwave with a freshly brewed glass of deliciousness – cold brew matcha. This unique take on traditional green tea is made from finely ground leaves, it comes with an array of health benefits, plus it has loads of flavor. Sure, you can sip on hot matcha when temperatures drop (it’s amazing!). But why not try something different before the first signs of autumn start rolling in? Let us show you why classic green tea will never be the same once you give cold brew matcha a go!

Why drinking matcha?

If you are looking for a delicious beverage with amazing health benefits, then matcha is the answer. Matcha is a green tea made from ground-up tea leaves, giving it a higher concentration of nutrients than other types of tea. It contains high levels of polyphenols, antioxidants that can help fight against cell damage and reduce inflammation. Matcha also contains compounds like theanine and caffeine which can promote alertness and mental clarity. Additionally, research suggests that drinking matcha may even help boost metabolism and aid in weight loss.

Cold brew matcha vs Matcha green tea

While matcha is typically brewed as a tea, cold brew matcha offers an alternative way to enjoy the many health benefits of green tea. Like cold brew coffee, cold brew matcha is made with cold water, but cold matcha tea is made by infusing ground-up matcha leaves in cold or room temperature water, giving it a smooth and creamy texture. Unlike hot-brewed matcha which can be bitter or have an astringent taste, iced matcha green tea has a mild flavor that is more refreshing and easy to drink. Additionally, cold brew matcha retains higher levels of its antioxidants than other forms of brewing. Both matcha tea and cold brew matcha offer delicious and healthy ways to enjoy the beverage.
