What is matcha latte?

Matcha latte is a frothy and creamy drink made from matcha powder, water, and animal or plant-based milk.

The origin of matcha

Matcha originally comes from China, but today it is almost exclusively associated with Japan, and is said to have been brought to Japan by the Zen Buddhist monk Myoan Eisai in the 12th century. Matcha itself is a green tea that is grown in a shaded area.

Matcha is one of the most unique varieties of traditional Japanese teas. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that it is not simply made from scalded tea leaves, but from the whole leaf, which is ground into a fine powder and consumed. This means that all the nutrients, antioxidants, and active ingredients can be absorbed directly into the body.

The tea plant used to make matcha latte is harvested during the second and third harvests from tea plants that are specifically shaded from direct sunlight to increase their chlorophyll content. This process not only results in a bright green color, but also increases the L-theanine content of the tea.

This process not only results in a vibrant green color, but also increases the L-theanine content of the tea.

L-theanine has both a calming and alertness-enhancing effect. This is because L-theanine is not a sedative compound, but rather plays a balancing role in the brain. Consuming matcha is an integral part of Japanese culture, and it is considered a drink that promotes mental clarity, calmness, and health.
