But who would have thought that this typically Japanese ground green tea would be such a success? Originally used in the traditional tea ceremony, matcha is now enjoyed with milk. Hot or cold, matcha can be used in both drinks and pastries. Its health benefits and natural stimulating properties make it a daily ally for anyone wishing to cut down on coffee.
