While having a coffee in the morning has become a routine for me, matcha has evolved into a lifestyle choice. I came across matcha during a period of mental and physical struggle when I was transitioning to a simpler, less consumer-driven way of living that focused on mindfulness in consumption. Introduced to matcha by a holistic nutritionist, I have incorporated it into my daily routine ever since.
Matcha offers more than just a caffeine boost; it is rich in antioxidants and contains the amino acid L-Theanine, known to alleviate stress and anxiety, enhance cognitive function and alertness, and boasts a delightful taste. Below is my recipe for the perfect matcha latte that I prepare each morning and carry in a thermos to accompany me throughout the day.
I start with my favourite matcha, with the one the only Soar Organics ( https://soarorganics.com) Every day use Matcha. I do use the ceremonial matcha on special occasions as well. I've been using this matcha for 3-4 years now and love it, its quality & a Canadian brand. I don't buy matcha from anywhere else. They have tons of info on their site and lots of great recipes.
