Matcha: The Green Tea Powerhouse Taking Over New Zealand

Move over, coffee—matcha is making waves in New Zealand! This vibrant green tea powder has been a staple in Japanese culture for centuries, and now, more Kiwis are turning to it for its numerous health benefits and sustained energy boost.

Why Choose Matcha?

Unlike traditional green tea, matcha is made from whole, shade-grown tea leaves that are finely ground, making it an incredibly concentrated source of antioxidants, L-theanine, and natural caffeine. This unique combination provides calm, focused energy without the jitters or crashes associated with coffee. Plus, matcha supports metabolism, heart health, and detoxification, thanks to its high chlorophyll content.

Matcha’s Rising Popularity in NZ

More and more cafes and wellness enthusiasts are making the switch to matcha. According to RNZ, matcha is growing in popularity as a coffee alternative, particularly among those seeking a gentler yet effective caffeine boost.

How to Enjoy Matcha

Matcha can be enjoyed in lattes, smoothies, and even baking! For a classic matcha latte, simply whisk high-quality matcha powder with hot water, then add frothed milk of your choice. Sweeten if desired, and enjoy a rich, earthy, and refreshing drink that nourishes both body and mind.
