Matcha - The drink of the moment

Thai Nguyen - a land famous for its lush green tea hills, is not only the birthplace of delicious tea products but also the birthplace of many new culinary trends, including matcha drinks that are increasingly popular and winning the hearts of diners. From cafes, restaurants to small retail stores, matcha appears everywhere, with a variety of processing methods and attractive flavors.

Almee Coffee Shop, Phan Dinh Phung Ward, has many matcha flavored drinks.

The taste of matcha is a perfect combination of light bitterness, freshness and a bit of natural sweetness. This green powder is made from young tea leaves of the green tea plant, but the difference is that they are ground into a fine powder and retain the natural chlorophyll layer, creating a fresh color and fresh flavor unlike any other type of tea. This is the first factor that makes matcha special, not only for "tea devotees" but also for those who are looking for a nutritious drink.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Hien, owner of Bao Dang Coffee Shop, Quyet Thang Ward, shared: Matcha is truly a gift from nature. Every time I make it, I feel the freshness and purity of matcha powder, its flavor is gentle and pleasant. What is special is that matcha is not only delicious but also good for health, helping to stay awake.

Almee Coffee Shop, Phan Dinh Phung Ward, has up to 10 matcha-flavored drinks priced from 45,000 to 55,000 VND per cup, not including toppings. Although the price is higher than some other drinks, many customers still choose them, such as Macha Yokohama; Macha Latte; Matcha buckwheat; Matcha ginger oil; Matcha coconut...

When processed, matcha can be combined with many other ingredients such as fresh milk, cream, or even combined in cakes, creating a dish that is not only delicious but also nutritious, suitable for the taste of many users, especially young people.

The taste of matcha is hard to describe, but what makes matcha the choice of many diners is not only its delicious taste but also its health benefits.

Macha Latte is loved by many young people.

Matcha powder contains a large amount of antioxidants, especially catechins - compounds that can fight harmful environmental agents and slow down the aging process of the body.

According to experts, with a moderate amount of caffeine, matcha helps increase alertness, helping users feel more active in work and study without experiencing unpleasant "shakes" like when drinking coffee. Another special thing is that matcha powder contains L-theanine, a compound that has a calming effect, helps reduce stress and creates a feeling of relaxation and comfort.

In addition, matcha is also known for its ability to support the digestive process, helping to burn excess fat effectively, thereby supporting the weight loss process safely and effectively. Therefore, in recent years, not only tea lovers but many people have turned to matcha with the desire to improve their health and figure.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan, a primary school teacher in Phan Dinh Phung ward, shared: For me, matcha is not just a drink, but a part of my health care routine. The taste of matcha is really special, gentle but no less delicate. In addition to the refreshing taste, I feel my body is healthier, my mind is also more alert and comfortable every day. After stressful teaching hours, a warm cup of matcha helps me dispel fatigue, feeling relaxed and comfortable.

From small shops on the streets of Thai Nguyen to luxury cafes, matcha is a favorite choice of many people. The combination of quality Thai Nguyen green tea and the sophisticated matcha powder processing has created a drink that not only satisfies the taste buds but also contributes to protecting health.
