What Is Matcha?
Matcha is a finely ground powder made from specially grown green tea leaves. Originating in Japan, it’s been used in tea ceremonies for centuries. Unlike regular green tea, matcha lets you consume the entire leaf, giving you a stronger dose of antioxidants and energy-boosting compounds.
Health Benefits of Matcha
- Rich in antioxidants, especially catechins
- Boosts metabolism and burns calories
- Enhances mood and focus with natural caffeine
- Detoxifies the body gently and naturally
Lavender in Beverages
Lavender isn’t just for perfumes or candles anymore. In recent years, it’s become a trendy flavor in cafés, known for its calming properties and unique floral aroma.
Flavor Profile
Lavender adds a light, aromatic sweetness that balances beautifully with the bitterness of matcha. Together, they create a drink that’s both energizing and relaxing — a rare combo.
Health Benefits of Lavender
- Promotes relaxation and reduces stress
- Aids digestion
- Contains anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties
Combining Matcha and Lavender
When matcha meets lavender, magic happens. The earthy base of matcha pairs beautifully with lavender’s floral high notes, creating a drink that’s complex yet comforting. Think of it as yin and yang in a cup — harmony between focus and calm.
