b>PerfectTed Matcha Starter Kit Let’s clear this up, a lot of people have tried matcha powder once and been put off by bitterness, or a strong seaweedy, perhaps even fishy aroma. Now matcha, much like coffee can have a bitterness to it depending on your palette, so you need to figure out how you like it. Just with hot water should be thought of as your shot of espresso: strong and punchy, whereas topped with hot frothy milk for a matcha latte is the way to go if you like things on the gentler side. We love it with oat milk as oats have a natural sweetness that really compliments the umami sweetness of our organic matcha latte powder. Matcha Benefits We’re often asked “is matcha green tea good for you?” and about matcha tea benefits, and there are quite a few! Matcha powder is a superfood, containing L-theanine: an amazing amino acid known for reducing anxiety and increg focus. Matcha powder also contains EGCG catechin, an antioxidant reputed to fight inflammation, speed up metabolism, and reduce cholesterol. Matcha green tea antioxidants contain roughly 50x more per gram than spinach. So, is matcha tea good for you? Well, we’re a bit biased but we think so, and when it comes to enjoying all of those matcha benefits you can’t beat a matcha latte with your favourite milk. Does Matcha Powder contain caffeine? You haven’t had caffeine like this before. This isn’t a coffee, or an intimidating neon energy drink. Our organic matcha powder is slow releg, so instead of getting that jolt and sped-up heartbeat for an hour, you will feel a gentle up-lift for 4-6 hours. No jitters. No crash. Whether you’re whisking up a matcha latte, or adding a dash to a smoothie, a single serving of 1-2 g will give you a similar amount of caffeine to a cup of coffee (around 60-80mg). This means that where coffee will last a couple of hours, our organic matcha powder will give you a consistent flow of caffeine for 4-6 hours, that’s enough to get you through a busy day in the office!PERFECTTED: We exist to spread positive energy with matcha green tea. When our founder Marisa, who has ADHD, could no longer drink coffee due to the jitters and negative impact on her anxiety she was recommended matcha. Matcha gave Marisa the energy she needed without all the side effects. Now we want to make sure everybody knows about how delicious and beneficial matcha can be!. THE PERFECTTED SPOON: A specific matcha spoon is quintessential! We found that a traditional bamboo spoon is a bit tricky to use without spilling any precious matcha, but our curved spoon gives you the right amount and contains your powder perfectly from pouch to mug. THE PERFECT WHISK: Instead of a bamboo chasen with easily broken tines, we have opted for a metal electric handheld milk frother to give you a silky smooth and perfectly frothy matcha latte every time. It is USB rechargeable, and the whisk head is removable for easy cleaning. PERFECTTED MATCHA: We have included our 2 Star Great Taste Award-winning matcha. It is organic, ceremonial grade and single origin from the world-famous Uji region of Japan. It is a brilliant introduction to matcha powder due to its naturally sweet flavour profile. Even the matcha doubters will find it hard to say no to this. THE PERFECTTED MATCHA STARTER KIT: A modern take on a traditional kit with everything you need to make the matcha latte. This makes a brilliant gift for a matcha lover or someone who is trying matcha out for the first time and needs all the equipment to get started.
