The best tea powder for your green kitchen

A distinctly bitter green tea powder from the second harvest in June, which, thanks to its strong aroma and taste, is best suited as an ingredient in "green cuisine." It is ideal for sweetened beverages such as mixed drinks, smoothies, ice cream, and other desserts, but is also suitable for baking and decorating. Unlike Matcha, Kabusé powder is not extracted from Tencha (selected premium leaves without stems), but from whole tea leaves. In addition, the tea plants used to produce Kabusé powder are only shaded by 50% instead of 90% and thus grow in partial shade. Thanks to the grinding of whole leaves, Kabusé powder contains more tannins than matcha and has a stronger flavor.
To best preserve all the flavors and components of the tea, store the tightly sealed bag in a cool place away from light.

Recipes with matcha tea

In addition to traditional ways of preparation, matcha is also popular in modern gastronomy. Thanks to its exceptional taste and nutritional properties, matcha is now used in many creative recipes.

1. Matcha latte

 A very popular matcha latte combines the intense flavour of matcha with the smoothness of milk (classic or vegetable). Just mix matcha powder with a small amount of hot water and whip up a froth. Then you add the frothed milk and the drink is ready to serve.

2. Matcha smoothie

 Matcha can also be added to smoothies for a refreshing drink full of antioxidants. Try combining matcha with banana, spinach, almond milk and a little honey for a healthy breakfast.

3. Baking and desserts

 Matcha is also often used in baking. You can find it in recipes for cookies, cakes, pancakes or even in ice cream. Its distinctive green colour and slightly earthy flavour give desserts a unique character.

4. Matcha in cocktails

 In modern mixology, matcha is also used in cocktails, where it combines well with lime, lemon, honey and various types of alcohol such as vodka or gin. This creates a refreshing and slightly bitter drink.
