Uji Matcha Red Bean

This drink is made from matcha powder, which is finely ground green tea leaves that are grown in Japan. Chatime’s powder comes from Uji, which is a place in Japan that is very famous for producing matcha. The powder is mixed with hot water and topped with red beans that have been cooked with sugar. Matcha powder is a unique balance of bitter, vegetal (think seaweed or edamame) and malty flavours, while the red beans add a sweetness to the drink.
