I’ve been drinking green tea daily since living in China in 2019/20 where I quickly became immersed in the culture of tea drinking. Whilst green tea does contain caffeine it does not have the same effect as coffee (jitter free!) and I find that it does not upset my digestive system.
Matcha Green Tea is the powdered form of green tea and there are different grades. The better quality grade is for drinking and will be bright green and a lower grade will be a dull dark green. I use the higher grade for everything but that’s just because I have an acquired taste!
The benefit of Matcha over normal green tea leaves is that you actually ingest the entire leaf which means a higher dose of nutrients.
Now when you add a teaspoon of Matcha powder to your pancake mix, you are getting a Matcha Latte and meal in one. Timesaver or what!
