The Healthy WIFE: Matcha Bar

While in New York earlier this Fall, THE WIFE™ discovered our new favorite, Matcha Bar. The Brooklyn gem serves up the East Coast’s finest matcha latte’s made with fine-ground, powdered green tea complimented by cow or almond milk. Click “continue reading” as Lindsey Ratowsky from Fifty Coffees shows Founder of THE WIFE, Taryn Cox, her favorite spots around Williamsburg, while she enjoys her liquid green tea treat.

Founders and brothers, Max and Graham Fortgang are proud to serve their own brand of matcha sourced directly from an independent family farm in Nishio, Japan. Unlike coffee, matcha is a great source of dietary fiber, vitamin A, B-complex, C, E, and K. Most notably; however, it is rich in antioxidants which can prevent disease and support immunity, L-Theanine for calm alertness and sustained focus and EGCG which increases metabolism and overall long-term health.

Not near Williamsburg, but eager to try a matcha latte? Order your own matcha starter kit at Matchabarnyc.com. Choose from matcha tins in two grades: MatchaBar Classic and MatchaBar Premium. The beautiful, electric green color is a testament to their excellent quality and with an earthy full-bodied flavor, creamy texture and natural sweetness matcha will soon be a fixture of your mid morning ritual.
