Matcha latte is a drink made from matcha tea and milk. Matcha is a traditional Japanese green tea ground into a powder. Matcha latte has a rich flavor and is packed with antioxidants. It serves as an excellent coffee substitute, aiding in boosting energy, concentration, and offering other health benefits.
This beverage can be found in almost all cafes in Bali, but the taste may vary due to differences in matcha quality and cost. Some use budget matcha with added sugar, distinguishable by its lighter color, while premium matcha exhibits a vibrant green hue.
If you doubt the matcha quality at a cafe, it's advisable to check with the barista whether they use pure matcha or matcha with added sugar. The selection includes cafes using only premium matcha for an intense flavor. Enjoy your matcha sipping!
