The trend of Matcha tea is taking over wellness circles—and even celebrities like Dhanashree Verma are trying it out and sharing their experiences. Here’s everything you need to know about Matcha tea, including how Dhanashree made it, her reaction to its taste, and why this Japanese tea is trending for its health benefits.

How Dhanashree Made Matcha Tea

Dhanashree demonstrated the classic method of preparing Matcha tea:

• Step 1: Add a small amount of green Matcha powder to a special Matcha bowl.

• Step 2: Pour in hot water.

• Step 3: Use a bamboo whisk (called a chasen) to vigorously whisk the mixture for about 20–25 seconds until the tea is fully dissolved and turns frothy and creamy. Make sure there are no lumps.

• Step 4: Add the whisked Matcha into milk (optional) to enjoy Matcha latte-style, or have it as is for a more intense flavor.

Unlike green tea or standard chai, Matcha is always whisked (not boiled), giving it a unique texture and flavor.

Dhanshree’s Taste Review

Dhanashree described the taste as "unique and vibrant"—a little different from regular tea, but she ultimately found it very refreshing. She found the whisk tool amusing, comparing it to a little broom, and enjoyed the creamy, smooth texture of the drink. She enthusiastically recommended Matcha tea as a great and refreshing addition to anyone’s routine.

Health Benefits of Matcha Tea

Why is Matcha tea so popular? Here are its main benefits:

• Loaded with Antioxidants: Matcha is extremely rich in catechins, especially EGCG, helping neutralize free radicals and slow cellular aging.

• Boosts Brain Function: Regular consumption has been linked to improved attention, memory, and reaction time—some studies attribute this to the combination of caffeine and theanine present in Matcha powder.

• Protects the Liver: Some research suggests Matcha may help protect the liver from damage and improve its function.

• Supports Heart Health: Drinking Matcha may reduce levels of harmful LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, supporting cardiovascular health.

• Aids Weight Loss: The combination of catechins and caffeine have a thermogenic effect, boosting metabolism and fat burning.

• Good for Skin: Its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties may help improve skin health, keeping it clear and radiant.
