At Taiki Tea we're creating a fusion of "East meets East End", taking the traditional ceremonial elements of matcha tea and adding more than a smidge of East London's distinctive vibe and energy. We're working with new and emerging talented ceramicists on our matcha bowls to ensure that they equal the quality of our tea whilst also bringing the tea ceremony bang up to date.
Caffeine and Energy
The caffeine present in both coffee and matcha will, to a small extent, raise your metabolic rate especially if used in conjunction with exercise. However, studies have concluded that green tea has thermogenic properties and promotes fat burning beyond that explained by its caffeine content per se. It may be used to help the control of body composition via activation of thermogenesis or fat burning, or both. Our mission is to provide a genuine alternative to coffee by offering consumers a similar experience and ritual that is part and parcel of the coffee culture; disrupting and converting long term coffee lovers to a healthier more ethical organic product in the form of matcha green tea. So after meeting a lot Taiki Tea lovers (and I mean a lot), we thought it was best to try to answer some of the most common questions on our little but mighty soundboard (aka our blog). Taiki means “great vitality” in Japanese. The name reflects the qualities of our premium organic matcha which provides energy and clarity of thought without the same side effects as coffee.
I am a huge fan of matcha and confirmed convert, both from a health and taste perspective and I can’t wait for it to become more readily available. We find its best to let the balls dry out a bit before coating them otherwise the matcha gets absorbed into the ball and they won't look as vivid. As a nutritional therapist people come through my door every day with serious coffee habits, it generally is a well guarded ‘guilty pleasure’ or “I just NEED my morning cup of coffee".Add 100g of roasted hazelnuts, 150g of dates, 1 large heaped tablespoon of cocoa and 1 large heaped tablespoon of coconut oil to a blender.
Saying this, before Taiki Tea was born, a lot of research went into the matcha we source and the matcha accessories we decided to offer. We had a mission of becoming an authentic Japanese matcha brand, we wanted to be knowledgeable about what we do, and in turn, pass that knowledge on so everyone on the matcha train can get the best experience they seek.Preheat the oven to 140°C/120°C fan/gas mark 1 and line two large flat baking trays with baking paper.
