Should I use boiling water to make matcha?
Definitely not. Using boiling water (100 C Deg) scorches the delicate powder, resulting in a bitter, "grassy" mess.The Fact: To preserve both the sweet umami flavor and the temperature-sensitive antioxidants (EGCG), use water between (70 C Deg and 80 C Deg )
Can I drink matcha on an empty stomach?
For many, it’s risky. Matcha is highly concentrated in tannins. The Science: Drinking tannins on an empty stomach can increase stomach acid, which may lead to nausea or "the shakes" for those with sensitive linings. The Tip: If you have a sensitive stomach, enjoy your matcha about 30 minutes after a light meal.
