About Matcha
Matcha is a finely ground powder of specially grown and processed green tea leaves. It is traditionally used in Japanese tea ceremonies and is known for its vibrant green color and rich, slightly bitter flavor. Matcha is prized for its high antioxidant content and its calming effect due to the presence of L-theanine, an amino acid. In recent years, matcha has gained international popularity and is used in a variety of foods and beverages, including lattes, smoothies, and desserts.
About Yuzu
Yuzu is a citrus fruit originating from East Asia, known for its unique flavor and aromatic zest. It is widely used in Japanese cuisine, both for its juice and its rind. The flavor of yuzu is tart, closely resembling that of grapefruit with overtones of mandarin orange. Yuzu peel is often used to enhance the taste of various dishes, teas, and sweets. Its refreshing fragrance and bright taste make it a popular ingredient in both traditional and modern culinary applications.
