The world is constantly changing, but our coffee orders remain the same. Sometimes it can be hard to get out and grab your favourite latte from your neighbourhood cafe.
The prices at coffee shops can be high, but what if you had the opportunity to make everything at home with the same type of quality— including your matcha latte — instead?
Matcha lattes are all the hype right now, and they are extremely easy to make at home. Matcha, a finely ground powder made from green tea leaves, has many proven health benefits, including reducing anxiety, boosting fat-burning, enhancing brain function, and supporting your immune system.
The powdered green tea is rich in nutrients and antioxidants and gives a slow-release caffeine boost throughout the day.
We've selected 13 matcha products that every matcha lover should have handy to create the ultimate matcha lattes.
Vanilla + Matcha Green Tea Powder
Vahdam Tea's vanilla matcha green tea powder is perfect for making your lattes at home. It has a hint of vanilla but still tastes exactly like delicious matcha. This is my current go-to matcha powder. Add two teaspoons to hot water and mix with your milk frother and milk for that fancy cafe latte at half the price.
