Something good and healthy that your body and skin will thank you for is matcha. MatchaDNA makes this century-old ritual easy to make for the busiest bee in town.
Despite its sci-fi name, MatchaDNA is 100% organic and naturally good. Find out what matcha tea can do for your body and how easy it is to prepare a cup of Matcha DNA.
What Is Matcha Tea
Matcha is steamed and powdered green tea leaves with a very high concentration of antioxidants and EGCG, a catechin protecting your cells from the damages caused by UV rays.
The history of matcha is quite long and dates back to 1000 years ago in China during the Tang dynasty. It became extremely popular in Japan and still is to this day. This isn’t a school lesson, so how’s MatchaDNA, and what do my taste buds think about it?
If green tea is a healthy beverage, matcha is even healthier! Talking about antioxidants, drinking one cup of MatchaDNA matcha is like drinking ten glasses of your usual green tea. This is why it’s a very healthy drink.
MatchaDNA Tea: product & packaging
MatchaDNA looks like a Japanese matcha, but its green tea is organically cultivated in China; hence, it has a totally different flavour.
This huge bag contains 34 mono-portion sachets for a total of 85 g. This hygienic packaging keeps the tea always dry and fresh, easy and convenient to use. For example, you can bring with you a couple of bags and prepare a cup of matcha in a few minutes without measuring and sifting the powder. Simply smart.
Texture and flavour
MatchaDNA powder is very fine, which means you don’t need to resift it again, as other matcha teas usually require.
Once ready, MatchaDNA matcha has a deep green colour (pictures don’t do it enough justice) and a taste that’s not too sweet or bitter as Japanese matcha. Hard to describe for Westerners, but I can simplify it as intense and enveloping.
There’s just one downside as with other matcha teas; in fact, sometimes it doesn’t completely dissolve ending up with powdery bubbles at the bottom of the cup. I usually don’t drink my last sips, but if you use an electric frother, you won’t have this problem.
How to prepare MatchaDNA matcha tea
Preparing a cup of matcha is extremely easy. Just boil some water, pre-heat your cup or mug with part of the freshly boiled water; then, throw the water away, add matcha, pour hot water at 82C° and whisk vigorously. Done!
MatchaDNA Review
My favourite way to drink my matcha is with a couple of drops of milk, as I do with my usual English black tea. I confess I love it this way.
Those who love the traditional Japanese tea ceremony with its typical slow movements might wring their nose at the idea of a ready-to-prepare matcha; in my opinion, that’s simply a modern way to have tea that takes nothing away from a healthy point of view.
I think MatchaDNA may be a great product for people who want to drink something totally natural, healthy and energising – instead of coffee or caffeinated drinks – and for those loving matcha but looking for something new and easy to prepare.
You can find MatchaDNA on Amazon with other matcha options, such as healthy beverages and MatchaDNA for cooking with accessories for the preparation. You can also get creative with your matcha and find inspiration on the MatchaDNA website, where you can find recipes for your skin and to drink, of course.
