So match-a love for Matcha Milk Bar.
So match-a love for Matcha Milk Bar.
It’s no secret Gold Coasters like to take our health and fitness rather srsly (well, except for the odd bottomless brunch but #moderation #amirite), there’s a gym on every block, our workout gear is cuter than ever and we know our way around a green smoothie or two. Luckily most of us long outgrew the extreme sport that was the broccoli dodging of our youth #sorrymum, and have since matured enough to embrace, and dare we say enjoy the greens, especially in drink form because what better way to get your 2 and 5 #efficient.
So now that we’re all grown up and understand that good things can actually come in green packages, it’s time to acquaint ourselves with the other bevvy in town, the one that boasts a better buzz than coffee #saywhat #youhaveourattention #literally.
And if you’re perilously approaching stalker status with your local barista, you’re gonna want to listen up because coffee has officially met it’s match(a) #check #andmatecha. New kids on the block, Matcha Milk Bar know the powerhouse properties of this mug-nificient elixir all too well, and thus set their sights on creating the best matcha blend on the market.
While the health benefits of this little green drink have been known seemingly forevs (thousands of years, same same), if you’re yet to cross over to the green side, here’s the tea on matcha: we’re talking Japanese green tea powder that’s stacks more concentrated than the standard tea leaves #nourishmenttakethewheel. And with a sustained energy boost that lasts 4-6 hours, without the nasty crash, we’re really starting to question our entire relationship aka dependence on all those cups of glorified bean juice tbh.
Matcha Milk Bar’s founder Brittany Kreskas knows oh too well the bitter cycle of chasen (the name for the little bamboo whisk used to make matcha, btw #adorable) coffee rush, the resulting jitters, and the inevitable post coffee crash #feels. And thus began the quest to not only find but create a better alternative – after spending months (and hundreds of samples) perfecting their high qualit-ea blend, we all finally get to reap the benefits #lovethatforus.
For Brittany, the ultimate goal was to craft a brain-boosting blend that’s carefully crafted to give you the perfect balance of focus, productivity, and energy. Not just a regular matcha, it’s a cool matcha – there’s also a little bonus action from some adaptogens thrown in the mix as well. And you just know when the organic ingredients start to sound like they could be sourced straight from a witches lair that you’re about to get a big ol’ dose of immunity boosting goodness (and luckily for us lions mane is touted for it’s ability to improve memory and focus and not, in actual fact put a hex on someone).
Matcha Milk Bar’s ceremonial grade (matcha speak for ‘the good stuff’) organic blend is also packaged right here on the GC (well, technically Byron, but that’s honorary GC, right?) after being sourced from a family owned farm in Kyoto, Japan. And if there’s one thing we know, it’s that Gold Coasters have so matcha love for getting behind a local boss babe with a sipsnorter of a product, on a mission to nourish the masses.
So go on, treat yo’self to a bag of green goodness for those days when you’ve got so little time, so matcha to do. We’ll just leave you with the three greatest words to come to online shopping: Free. Australian. Shipping #yesteas
