WHERE TO BUY MATCHA LATTE AND EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS DELICIOUS DRINK

Let's start from the beginning... when we talk about caffeine, it is often demonized as harmful to our health. However, recent studies have shown that moderate caffeine consumption is beneficial to our well-being. This is why the perception of caffeine has changed. You can find more information in this study .

In addition to the above, we also tend to have a misconception about drinks that contain caffeine, since in the eyes of many people only coffee and energy drinks have it among their ingredients, but... Did you know that like coffee, Matcha tea also has caffeine?

If you didn't know, grab a pen and paper and write down these facts that will make you a Matcha fan:

A cup of coffee can contain between 100 and 150 mg of caffeine, while the same cup of tea would contain about 26 mg. At this point, you might think that if you want to be more productive, you will have to drink coffee… but the truth is that Matcha has an amino acid called L-Theanine that allows your body to process caffeine differently than it would with coffee, providing a sustained energy boost, without highs and lows.

This improves our ability to concentrate as it does not cause the nervousness that you can feel with coffee. In addition to the above and unlike coffee, it has nutrients and fiber such as vitamin A and vitamin C.

Green tea also has many benefits as you have probably heard, the difference between the two lies in the way of consuming it, since in a common green tea we only drink the water-soluble compounds of it while the way of obtaining Matcha we obtain all the nutrients. The process is the following: the leaves of the plant are covered for 20 days before being harvested to avoid sunlight and to increase the level of antioxidants and its green color by the generation of chlorophyll. Once the harvest is collected, the next step is to boil the shoots of the plant, separate the stems and nerves and, finally, grind them in stone, thus obtaining a green powder that does not need to be infused.

After learning a little about Matcha tea we want to know what exactly Matcha Latte is…

Well, it's easy, it's a drink that has 99% of the benefits of Matcha tea for those who find the taste of the latter too much . That's why, after listening to the opinion of our customers, we decided to venture into the formulation of this delicious drink. We believe that it has so many benefits that everyone should be able to enjoy it: those who like the intense flavor of Matcha and those who prefer sweeter flavors.

As we have already mentioned, the benefits of Matcha and Matcha latte are practically identical, the difference we find is due to the condensation of ingredients that in the latte version are more diluted by the presence of the coconut drink. That said, some of the benefits are:

• The caffeine in this type of tea is absorbed gradually, unlike what happens with coffee: This is due to the combination of the aforementioned L-Theanine and caffeine, which will provide energy for 4 to 6 hours without the fatigue typical of stimulant drinks.
• Contains more antioxidants than regular green tea: By consuming the ground leaf and not making it as an infusion, it has 136 times more antioxidants than a regular cup of green tea.
