Eating psychology and nutrition expert Elise Museles, rejoins us today to talk about matcha. We take a look at its health benefits, cultural significance, and various culinary uses.
Elise shares her journey from law school stress-induced headaches to discovering the calming and energizing properties of matcha. Her transition from coffee and tea to matcha was not just a shift in beverage choice but a lifestyle change. Elise emphasizes how matcha, apart from being a high-quality tea, represents a lifestyle that embraces mindfulness and well-being.
We also touch upon the common misconception of matcha being an elite, inaccessible beverage. Elara breals down the cost-effectiveness of homemade matcha compared to cafe-bought drinks, highlighting how making matcha at home is not only more economical but also a simple, adaptable process that doesn't require perfection or expensive tools.
Elise takes us through her initial experiments with matcha in smoothies to her current favorite ritual of a hot matcha latte with a hint of maple syrup and cashew milk. Matcha’s unique balance of calming and energizing effects has become an integral part of her daily routine, boosting her mood and focus.
Following our interview, Elara, our matcha expert, does a deep dive on the health benefits of matcha - ranging from antioxidants to improved sleep and mental focus.
