Sure coffee contains antioxidants, but you know what has more? Our Premium Matcha Powder. Made from grinding dried young green tea leaves into a fine powder, matcha has been consumed for centuries and is at the forefront of the 'kick the coffee' movement. Traditionally matcha powder is whisked into warm water and consumed as a tea, but these days people are enjoying its calming, energizing and antioxidant fuelled benefits in a number of forms. From lattes to desserts, smoothies and even popsicles, matcha has proven to be one of the most versatile superfoods out there. Try making these no-bake matcha bites the next time you're itching for a sweet treat or want to venture outside of traditional matcha tea!
