Matcha Latte’s are our go-to at coffee shops! In highschool (about eight years ago…woah where has the time gone?), our mom got us hooked on matcha at Starbucks. I know Starbucks of all places, it sounds so cliche, but at that time, it was one of the only coffee shops that had started to sell matcha drinks. There was no turning back.
Don’t get us wrong, we love, love, love our coffee but there is something so different and equally amazing about matcha green tea. Matcha has so many benefits and a unique flavor. We will say, that for many, matcha can be an acquired taste for some. But coffee at one point was an acquired taste for many as well.
Over the years, matcha has become increasingly popular in western culture and it is a common drink at local coffee shops. One of our favorite ways to make matcha is in a matcha latte.
