Ah, coffee! That magical, ebony elixir that fuels creativity, insanity, and trips to the bathroom.
What if there was an easier, gentler way to get your caffeine fix?
Well, there is: it’s called MATCHA TEA.
Matcha tea is made of ground, whole green tea leaves. The tea leaves are ground into a silky powder that you simply stir into water and add milk, if you’d like.
You can use a bamboo whisk, as shown in the photo above, to mix your matcha tea. Or, you can use a conventional whisk. Just make sure to whisk long enough to fully dissolve the tea.
