Digital Desk: Tea is all time favourite in almost every part of the world. We've all heard of green tea and its numerous health advantages. The revival of this potent antioxidant-rich tea has been quite the buzz in recent years, with matcha being the most healthy nature.

Matcha green tea is a finely ground powder that is primarily consumed in East Asia. It is frequently used for therapeutic purposes, owing to its bitter taste. Matcha, on the other hand, is less acidic than black tea because it contains more antioxidants and EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate).

Some matcha benefits include a sense of alert relaxation and the ability to settle down without inducing drowsiness. It can even boost your metabolism and improve your cardiovascular health. Green tea, when combined with a low-sugar diet, increases metabolism and aids in weight loss.

It can even help with blood pressure and immunity. If you don't want to drink matcha tea because of its bitter taste, you can still reap the advantages in other ways.

Rudra Chatterjee, Managing Director of Luxmi Tea Group, discussed during an interview with India Today the various ways matcha green tea may be included in your diet for healthy living.

Here are the five ways to use Matcha in your daily lifestyle:

Have some Matcha Latte 

Matcha latte is made with milk and matcha powder, which imparts a sweet, savoury, and vegetal flavour. Matcha has an umami flavour.

Delightful Matcha Cupcakes

Green matcha powder is used to make this soft and spongy cake. It gives the cake an earthy character. It tastes like green tea, but stronger and with more intense grassy flavours.

Face Pack containing Matcha

Matcha includes methylxanthines, which have been demonstrated to increase microcirculation in the skin, promoting not only healthy, glowing skin but also an even healthy complexion.

Bath Bomb with Matcha

Matcha bath bombs provide a soothing yet invigorating bath experience. Matcha's antioxidants protect your skin, caffeine energises you, and chlorophyll detoxifies and deodorises you.

Matcha in Beverages

Spritzers, cocktails, and even mules are wonderful with a dash of matcha. The gentle sweetness of organic matcha powder combined with the cocktail creates an experience unlike any other.
