Singapore is an island country which attracts millions of tourists each year. The stunning architecture and a rich history alongside some incredible shopping experiences guarantee that there is something to keep everyone entertained. The theme parks, street art installations as well as museums and colourful murals add further reasons as to why so many people wish to visit.
All that adventure and gallivanting is bound to create a thirst that requires time to sit back and unwind while enjoying a refreshing drink. Many locals as well as visitors enjoy tea from wherever they originate, but of late it is the green tea leaves that are harvested by hand, originating from Japan in the form of matcha that is becoming increasingly popular.
Those who try it for the first time are taken aback and want it again and again, enjoying the wonderful flavours which provide a sweet nutty taste which is infused with rich vegetal notes. Add in its attractive bright green colour and it’s easy to see why it is becoming increasingly popular, especially with the younger photogenic generation, but why should they have all the fun? That bright green hue is created from the chlorophyll in its leaves along with its amino acid. It’s all natural without any artificial colourants, and even better than that, it provides health benefits.
Vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and nutrients are all included in matcha, which can be enjoyed hot or ice cold, or made into a smoothie or trendy dessert as its rich creaminess comes to the fore. Health and well-being can be increased with every sip, with it believed to help stave off diseases of the liver and increase the functioning of the heart. Studies suggest that it is a good way of preventing cancer, while alertness and clear thinking of the brain can be improved while consuming matcha.
It also provides fun for those who make purchases from a wide range that is available from experts in tea. Those who whisk the drink traditionally with bamboo can drift away into another world before relaxing to enjoy their drink and perhaps appreciate the painstaking process which sees the leaves undergo a shading process unique to other teas. The bamboo mats that cover them can change the levels of caffeine in the tea while its levels of antioxidants are increased prior to the hand-picking process, which sees them steamed for twenty seconds to prevent oxidation.
Matcha can even be used in soups or porridge, while fruit juices and chia pudding can also benefit from its addition. The smooth sweetness that it brings offering huge adaptability so that it can be used as part of a diet to increase good physical and mental health. Those living in Singapore might wish to make a purchase and even buy it wholesale if running a café or business so that customers can try it.
Matcha tea is a wonderful way of adding goodness into a daily life as the adaptable drink can be enjoyed in many ways while constantly delivering a great taste.
