Matcha tea is one of the most lovely and tasty teas that you can buy. This beautifully bright green tea is made through a special process that allows the tea leaves to grow in the shade, which ensures that the tea plants grow slowly. This preserves their bright and beautiful color and adds to the flavor profile of this delightful tea.
Matcha is one of the most prized teas that comes from Japan and a favorite for use in many kinds of recipes. If you have always loved Match tea, you might not realize that it can be added to your favorite soft serve to make the most delightful treat you have ever experienced!
Matcha Tea is Very Healthy
Matcha tea is one of the healthiest teas that you can buy. This is because it contains high levels of a catechin called EGCG that offers cancer-fighting benefits as well as skin-brightening and stomach health benefits. You will also enjoy protection from heart disease and diabetes when you add matcha to your daily routine as well.
One of the reasons matcha tea is healthy has to do with how it is processed. Any blend of tea that is harvested when the leaves are very young will be full of all the health benefits that can be offered by the tea plant itself.

Even if you don’t enjoy the tea itself, there are many ways that you can add Matcha to your diet. Matcha soft serve is a favorite, as this delightful tea creates a delicate and herbal flavoring that is just wonderful when added to traditional soft serve recipes. Soft serve can get a little boring, but adding some yummy Matcha makes it the perfect blend of sweet and spunky to make your tastebuds happy!
How is Matcha Made?
Matcha is made with the young leaves of a tea plant that have been ground into a bright green, soft powder. This powder contains all of the benefits of the plant and is not oxidized like black teas or even white teas can be. This powder is the base for your Matcha tea, providing you with a really unique flavor profile and a smooth cup of tea that you cannot get from other tea blends.

To make Matcha tea, add the powder to hot water and mix gently. The powder blends with the hot water to make a smooth and slightly creamy tea mix that is very light and very refreshing.
Matcha tea is known for its unique flavor and health benefits as well as for its bright green color. This is a very unique tea that is considered to be a bit of a delicacy in Japan. Being able to drink Matcha tea at home offers you the chance to indulge in this delightful variety of tea that has been used for centuries for good health and enjoyment with family and friends.
