A matcha latte is a creamy, green tea-based beverage made with finely ground matcha powder and steamed milk. Unlike traditional green tea, which is brewed from whole leaves, matcha is made from specially grown tea leaves that are stone-ground into a fine powder. This powder is whisked with hot water to create a concentrated tea, which is then combined with milk (dairy or plant-based) to create a latte. The result is a vibrant green drink that is smooth, slightly sweet, and has a rich, earthy flavor. Matcha lattes are popular for their unique taste and the energy boost they provide, thanks to the natural caffeine and L-theanine found in matcha.
