Matcha Porridge is inspired by a cafe in C\u00e1diz<\/h2>\n

During a recent trip to C\u00e1diz<\/a>, in the Andalusian region of Spain, we fell in love with a little cafe that served all types of porridge and one in particular that we fell in love with \u2014 a vegan matcha porridge. Served with fresh, regional fruits and sometime edible flowers, together with a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, this became a daily ritual. A simple but delicious bowl of porridge with matcha.<\/p>\n

What is matcha<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re not familiar with matcha, it\u2019s a Japanese green tea powder made from finely powdered dried tea leaves from the Camellia Sinensis plant. Although it is derived from the same plant as green tea, matcha is cultivated quite differently as the plants are covered with bamboo mats for the last three weeks before it is harvested in order to increase the amount of chlorophyll in the leaves. This is what gives the matcha powder<\/a> it\u2019s characteristically bright green colour. The ultra-silky ground green tea leaf powder has a delicate bitterness and sweet aftertaste.<\/p>\n

Buying matcha<\/h2>\n

When purchasing matcha green tea it should be packaged in a way that limit exposure to air and light, otherwise oxidisation will effect the shelf life and diminish the flavour. Once you open it, use it within 2 months for the best colour and flavour. Also, because of the specialised growing conditions and manufacturing process, you can expect to pay a little more than for other green teas.<\/p>\n
