Try It Tuesday...

matcha tea...

have you tried it?

I've been told how good this tea is for you and finally took the plunge over Christmas break.

I went ahead and bought the set at Teavana which came with this can of tea, a battery operated frother (you can use a bamboo one as well) and a bowl to make/drink my matcha.

Check out matchasource to read more about it but here's just a few of the reasons I drink it:

When drinking matcha you are getting the benefits of the whole leaf, not just the brewed water as in other green teas.

It's packed with antioxidants (more than pomegranates & blueberries), chlorophyll and fiber among others.

Great for your skin, energy and as a detoxifier and if you are still not convinced...the gal at Teavana had a matcha leaf tatooed on her arm because it had made such a difference in her life (tatoos don't lie)

1 tsp per 8 oz water

pour in hot water while frothing with whisk

I drink it straight out of the bowl!

Hopefully this will be a game changer for the new year.

Do you drink it? If so I would love to know where you buy yours.
