Looking to replace your caffeine intake with something (literally) more green? You may have seen these hot or iced concoctions all over your social feed. We’re here to tell you that you don’t need to be a pro or an at-home barista to enjoy the viral sensation that is the matcha latte.
What is matcha?
It’s finely-ground Japanese green tea leaves that have been made into a powder. It is used in ritualistic tea ceremonies, but has become popular around the world with matcha being used in cooking recipes, ice cream, boba tea, and the hot or iced latte variation.
