                      Hello & Happy Wednesday!         I’ll be honest, I wasn’t all on the matcha train until late in the game. I never drink coffee or go to a “Starbucks” and if anything I just have juice in the morning.    However nearly a year ago I experience matcha and was instantly sold. The flavor profile of green tea in...
