Why is matcha so trendy?

Matcha is totally hot, and for good reason. The bright green powder is a delight for the eye, is packed with antioxidants and gives you a gentle energy boost. A cup of matcha can calm you down and keep you awake at the same time – a perfect alternative to coffee. A well-crafted matcha seduces the palate with its subtle umami flavours and a light sweetness!

Luckily, there is no need to look far in Antwerp: the city is full of cosy places where you can enjoy quality matcha.
