MATCHA! MATCHA! MATCHA!

Posted on May 31, 2012 Updated on June 4, 2012

Matcha, also known as Maccha, is a high quality, fine powdered green tea. This is one of the most popular teas in Japan. Matcha is basically the next best thing to sliced bread. Nathaly and Courtney use it not just for drinking but also for cooking and beauty as well. We recommend our very own Yame Kyushu Gyokuro Matcha, Matcha Match Tea in Genmai, Hoji & Sencha or Matcha Green Tea Powder.

We drink about three cups of these teas a day. Not only is it great for weight loss, it also helps boost your metabolism. With Matcha, there are certain tools you need to use to provide you with the BEST experience you’ll ever have. We suggest the following: Bamboo Matcha Whisk(which is used in traditional Japanese ceremonies to mix the matcha and water), Aroma & Tasting Cup Set, Yixing Gong-Fu Tasting Cup or Glass Tasting Cup…whichever you prefer. If you would rather have a complete set, we have two different sets to choose from. Large Chinese Gong-Fu Tea Ceremony Set #1 or Large Chinese Gong-Fu Tea Ceremony Set#2. These sets are perfect for parties and get-togethers.

There are many recipes for matcha, which include cocktails, smoothies, desserts, meals, and many more! Check out this recipe that we love and so do our families!

We have our very own “Beau-TEA-ful Face Matcha Mask” that we use daily.

While you may not look beautiful with the mask on…what a difference you will see when you take it off. It will make your face smooth and shiny while removing makeup or any residue left on your skin.
