What Type of Matcha to Use In Your Smoothie
Matcha tea can be quite pricey so it’s good to know a bit about the different types of match tea. There are two main types of matcha tea, ceremonial grade, and culinary grade. Below you will find a brief overview of the two types of matcha tea.
Ceremonial Grade: Ceremonial grade matcha tea is more expensive than culinary grade matcha tea. This tea is of a higher quality than culinary-grade matcha tea. This matcha in ceremonial grade matcha consists of the most carefully cultivated buds and leaves. Ceremonial matcha is really meant to be enjoyed on its own without any other additives.
Culinary Grade: Culinary grade matcha tends to be cheaper than ceremonial grade matcha. This type of matcha is usually used in cooking and smoothies. This type of matcha has a more robust astringent flavor.
How To Make a Matcha Smoothie
When you are making a matcha smoothie you can follow the following procedure. Firstly add the liquid, secondly, add the fruits and vegetables, and thirdly add the matcha powder and any other add-ins such as nut butter, yogurt, chia seeds, or flaxseeds.
If you like a strong matcha flavor in your smoothie adjust the amount of matcha you use in the smoothie. Additionally, if you want to thicken your matcha smoothie you can use items such as frozen fruit, ice, yogurt, or an avocado.
