MARCH of the MATCHA

A QUICK SCROLL THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA ON ANY GIVEN DAY AND YOU CAN BET YOUR BOTTOM DOLLAR YOU’ LL SEE IT- A SOFT GREEN SWIRL BLOOMING THROUGH MILK, ALWAYS POURED IN SLOW MOTION, AND A BAMBOO WHISK TAPPING THE SIDES OF A TALL GLASS WHILE A LATTE GETS LIFTED INTO SHOT, SILHOUETTED AGAINST THE MORNING SUN. LOVE IT OR LOATHE IT( IT DOES HAVE A TOUCH OF THE MARMITE EFFECT ABOUT IT), MATCHA HAS BECOME LESS OF A DRINK AND MORE OF A RITUAL- AN INDICATOR OF CALM AND BALANCE, OFTEN CHAMPIONED BY THOSE THAT LIKE THEIR MORNING CUPPA WITH A HELPFUL DOSE OF WELLNESS.
