The Book of Matcha: A Superhero Tea

Matcha is a Japanese green tea powder that is fondly referred to by teapigs as 'a superhero among teas', thanks to its natural antioxidant qualities. It is widely consumed in both food and drink in Japan, but has become extremely popular around the world as its health benefits and unique taste are embraced globally.

This book uncovers the history behind this phenomenal green powder, looking at how matcha is specially grown, graded and ground. It also examines the health benefits of this super tea, which has been used for centuries by Buddhist monks to keep them focused during meditation, and how it is used today to flavour everything from chocolate to biscuits, bread to ice cream.

Detailing the history of matcha, how it's produced, its immense health benefits and its varied culinary uses, The Book of Matcha also features over 40 recipes that show you how to use this versatile and antioxidant ingredient at home.
