Matcha has taken off as a trend in the U.S., but this super-charged green tea has always been a mainstay in Japan. Matcha is a powder that offers all the powers of green tea, but in a more concentrated form – and it's full of antioxidants. In Japan, the ritual of enjoying tea and offering it to visitors in your home provides another healthy benefit: a time out during the day to relax and enjoy something that is good for you.
Pick up some matcha at your local health food store, add one teaspoon to a cup of hot water, stir and make time to share it with friends and family daily. Since it's sweeter than regular green tea, you might even convert tea skeptics. |
