How matcha tea took over the world
We spill the tea on the health benefits.
You鈥檝e probably seen people drinking matcha everywhere lately. It really seems to be a case of matcha this, matcha that. But does all the hype match what鈥檚 actually in your mug? Is it that healthy? And does this boom impact Japan at all?
成人快手 reporter Megan Lawton tells us why she started looking into this matcha trend and we hear some of her interview with Max Ando, a Japanese model who set up his own matcha brand. We also hear from Emma Beckett, a food and nutrition scientist, looks into how healthy the tea really is.
