What’s So Good About Matcha Green?
Matcha green is infusing homes with new energy, and there’s a lot of health and wellness benefits that stem from the drink itself that can be replicated into our homes.
Matcha is a finely ground powder made from specially grown and processed green tea leaves, traditionally used in Japanese tea ceremonies. Unlike traditional green tea, if you’re new to drinking a dose of the good stuff, you may find it incredibly bitter, which is why different syrups and sugars are often combined with it. It’s packed full of antioxidants and is known for its anti-inflammatory and metabolism-boosting properties.
Indeed, those feel good vibes are being translated into our interiors, because let’s face it, greens are good to be around. It retains that natural link with healthy living, and any type of green keeps us in touch with the natural world, it’s soothing and can subconsciously make us feel more at ease as we shut the door at the end of the day.
