The Coffee that People Love so Matcha!
Who would have thought that tea and coffee would meld so well together? And yet, 
there’s no denying that matcha coffee is a delicious match made in heaven! Though 
matcha coffee is now a staple in cafes around the world, did you know that matcha 
ac tually has an incredible history that sp ans nearly a millennium and even has 
loads of amazing health benefits?
Matcha Tea’s Diverse Roots
Before we can really talk about matcha coffee, we need to learn about 
matcha tea. While making powdered tea – which is how matcha is produced 
– can be traced back to 12th century China, the history of brewing green tea 
harks back to 8th century China. Matcha’s popularity really exploded in 
Japan, though. So how did this Chinese tea-making practice make it to 
Japanese shores?
It was around the 12th century when a Japanese monk named Myoan Esai 
was visiting China to learn more about Buddhism, that he discovered how to 
make powdered matcha tea. Amazed and impressed, he brought this 
knowledge back to Japan. While in his home country, Esai often brewed 
matcha tea as a way to increase his Zen while also noticing that matcha tea 
provided him with increased focus while meditating. It was from these 
humble beginnings that matcha developed into the global phenomenon that 
it is today.
  
Making Magnificent Matcha
A practice that has spanned nearly a millennia, Matcha has been cultivated 
traditionally in Japan with 5 specifications: 
     The vibrancy of their green hue 
     The sweetness of their umami flavor 
     How premium the vintage is 
     How frothy the end product becomes 
     How smooth the finish is when drinking
The main area for matcha cultivation in Japan is a place called Uji, which is situated 
in the southeast part of Kyoto. The tea here is grown throughout the year due to 
demand. A unique aspect to how matcha is cultivated here occurs when the tea 
leaves are about six weeks away from being harvested. During this period, they are 
shaded and provided with less and less sunlight over time so that the leaves 
produce even more chlorophyll and amino acids. The increased chlorophyll gives 
the matcha plants its signature green coloration, while the amino acids are the 
so urce of matcha’s amazing and delicate u mami flavor. When the plants are ready 
for harvesting, only the smallest, youngest, greenest, and most delicate ones are 
plucked. 
5 Surprising Health Benefits of Matcha
Matcha isn’t popular the world over just for its bright green color (though we 
definitely think the color is fabulous!) these unassuming tea leaves actually also 
pack loads of health benefits! Let’s take a look at 5 health benefits you may not 
have known that matcha possesses.
 Matcha is high in catechins, which is a plant compound that behaves like a natural 
form of antioxidant. 
  Matcha may help with liver health
 Matcha can lead to higher brain function, alertness, and enhanced mental 
performance (just ask Myoan Esai!)
  The nutrients found in green teas like matcha may help improve heart health
  Matcha may speed up your metabolism and promote weight loss
  
How to Brew Delicious Matcha Coffee
Matcha, as an ingredient, is extremely versatile. Since the tea leaves are harvested 
in the dark to preserve the flavor and nutrients, matcha tends to be sweeter and 
more fragrant than other types of green tea. This is one of the reasons it pairs so 
well with coffee. With that in mind, here’s a refreshing, visually-stunning, delicious 
matcha coffee recipe that’ll kick your coffee craving while also giving you all of 
matcha’s amazing benefits!
Ingredients (serves 1)
     1 teaspoon of matcha powder
     ½ teaspoon of granulated sugar
     2-3 tablespoons of hot water (only enough to dissolve the matcha powder and   
    sugar)
     2 tablespoons of milk (or any milk substitute of your choice
