MATCHA, MATCHA....MAN!!

Matcha has been picking up recently in our store, and alot of the demand is for recipes. A local baker, Andrea Maue, won an episode of TV's Cupcake Wars and did a spectacular green tea cupcake. The photographer who does our beautiful photos of loose leaf tea and the Loose Leaf Line of gift/stationery items available at our store and our website, Regina Fell of Murrieta, recently took home matcha and made some doggone yummy matcha-infused cookies...which she was kind enough to let us taste. Matcha has been bought here for face masks people have read about in beauty magazines, for whisking and consuming, and we also use it in the store for making a matcha icy blended with real strawberries and another with creme de menthe...as well as lattes.

 

Matcha by definition is green tea leaves pulverized to a very, very fine consistency (that sticks to your hands and everything else). Traditionally it is served by whisking in a small bowl. The taste can be unpleasant to some, as the pulverizing brings out everything in the leaf, including tannins, which make it too bitter for some. It also brings about a higher level of caffeine, some say around 80 mg. per 8 oz. serving, when using 1 tsp. matcha and 8 oz. water.

Matcha has some additional benefits. Because you are consuming the entire leaf rather than infusing it, you receive all the antioxidant benefits contained within the leaf, some of which are left behind after regular steeping. It is a very healthy way to drink tea, if you can learn to enjoy the taste.

We sell matcha here unsweetened or sweetened. For making at-home lattes, some want it sweetened and the cost is half because the matcha is cut with sugar. But whatever way you may choose to enjoy your matcha, you can be sure it is one of the healthiest forms of tea you can consume, especially unsweetened!

(Diane Walden is co-founder of two retail loose leaf companies. She and her husband own and manage California Tea & Coffee Brewery in the Winchester Meadows Plaza in Temecula. The shop is one of the best rated tea stores in the U.S. according to TeaMap. The business website is http://www.caltcb.com.
