Prep Tip
Whisk with hot, not boiling, water — water that's too hot makes matcha taste bitter and may degrade some of the more delicate catechins.
Absorption Boost
A small amount of fat (milk, oat milk) — may help absorb some of matcha's fat-soluble compounds
Vitamin C foods — supports antioxidant activity, though may slightly reduce catechin levels if mixed directly
Use Caution If
You're sensitive to caffeine — matcha has more caffeine per gram than regular brewed green tea
You take iron supplements — tea catechins can reduce iron absorption if taken at the same time
Storage
Store in an airtight, opaque container in the fridge; matcha degrades faster than other teas once opened.
