What is Matcha?
Matcha is a type of green tea made from finely ground tea leaves. It’s celebrated for its vibrant green color and rich, aromatic flavor. Matcha is known for its complex taste -slightly astringent and subtly sweet. It’s traditionally used in Japanese tea ceremonies. Still, here, we’re using it to add a unique depth of flavor to our mojito.
