Ever tried Japanese Green Tea - matcha 抹茶?
Matcha is powdered Green Tea and can be used in various delicious ways. Originally, Matcha is used for the traditional Japanese tea ceremony, the tea's colour is an intensive green and Matcha has a slightly bitter taste. Within the Japanese tea ceremony, Matcha is served together with typical Japanese sweets (和菓子, wagashi).
However, the Japanese food industry invented also other products with Matcha, like Matcha chocolate, cakes, cookies or even drinks.
A 'Matcha Frappuchino' is available at Japanese Starbucks stores, and also other coffee shops in Japan offer drinks like 'Matcha Latte' (frozen, iced or hot).
