The Matcha Latte at Centenary Lounge

It’s Been So Big and Successful, We’re Continuing It – The Matcha Latte at Centenary Lounge.

After an incredible response, we’re thrilled to announce that our Matcha range is here to stay! From its vibrant green hue to its creamy, smooth flavour, Matcha has quickly become a customer favourite, and we can see why.

What Makes Matcha So Special?

Matcha is a finely ground green tea powder known for its brilliant colour, smooth taste, and impressive health benefits. Unlike regular green tea, which you steep and discard, Matcha allows you to consume the entire leaf, giving you a stronger dose of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.

It also delivers a gentle, lasting energy boost thanks to a natural balance of caffeine and L-theanine, helping you stay calm, alert, and focused – perfect for workdays, study sessions, or travel days.

Green Tea vs. Matcha: What’s the Difference?

While both come from the same plant, there are some key distinctions:

• Whole Leaf Goodness: Matcha means “ground tea” (from the Japanese ma for ground and cha for tea). With Matcha, you consume the entire tea leaf, not just the infused water, for a richer flavour and higher nutrient content.
• Grown for Greatness: In the final weeks before harvest, Matcha plants are carefully shaded from sunlight. This boosts their chlorophyll and L-theanine levels, giving Matcha its signature bright green colour and distinctive umami taste.
• Authentic Origins: Traditional Matcha is primarily grown in Japan, particularly in the Uji and Nishio regions, both world-famous for producing the highest quality Matcha.

What Does Matcha Taste Like?

Matcha has a distinctive umami flavour, savoury, earthy, and slightly sweet — balanced by its smooth texture. Think of it like coffee: everyone enjoys it differently! Whether you prefer it as a latte, iced, or mixed with your favourite milk alternative, it’s all about finding your perfect matcha moment.

The Matcha Process, Grown with Care

Matcha is made from the Tencha bush, which is shaded for three weeks before harvest. This shading process intensifies the flavour and boosts its beneficial compounds. When the leaves are ready, they’re gently stone-ground into a fine, bright green powder, a process that preserves both the taste and nutrients that make Matcha so unique.
