    Matcha Sour
    INGREDIENTS
    Matcha

    This is a Japanese green tea with a long


    ceremonial history but in recent years has
    become incredibly popular across the globe
    due to it’s health benefits and caffeine content
    providing an alternative to coffee. Unlike, most
    teas matcha is ground into a fine powder and
    dissolved into a liquid (usually water or milk)
    rather than being infused and discarded. Aim to
    get premium grade as lower grade is distinctly
    more bitter.
