Matcha Tea

Have you heard about Matcha tea? It seems that Teapigs have cultivated and produced a posh green tea concentrate with one helluva lot of health benefits. Apparently Buddhist Monks and many Japanese have been drinking this type of tea for years, but now it's come to the west, and people are singing about the health benefits. 


This is what Teapigs have to say: 'We like to think of matcha as a sort of superhero amongst teas, as it’s super-concentrated and packed full of the goodness we need to help keep us looking and feeling happy and healthy. The tea leaves are grown under cover for the last two weeks of cultivation to produce lots of chlorophyll (the bright green good stuff).'


I'm certainly keen to try this. At £25 a pop this ain't cheap, but the powder is only used in small quantities and is tres versatile.
