I spent years as a personal chef for one of the richest families in the world. This family had access to anything money could buy, but they couldn't live without this ONE drink. They had it every day and would never leave me alone about it. That drink was matcha. But not just any kind of matcha. See, if you're anything like me, you've probably drunk it once and were completely disgusted by its "grassy" taste. Or maybe you just fell in love with it. But if you've experienced that "grassy" taste, it's not your taste buds. There are actually two COMPLETELY different kinds of matcha. Chances are you've had the wrong one. (And if you're a fan of matcha, what I'm about to share is an even BETTER version of the one you're drinking.) See, the family I worked for was Japanese. They grew their own matcha right there on their estate. And what they showed me there made me fall in love with the drink I used to hate. The family was obsessive about how they harvested matcha. They only took the youngest leaves from the plant because, if you look it up, that's where all the sweetness comes from. The first time I tried it, I couldn't believe it was the same drink. The matcha I knew back home tasted vile. The one I made with THEIR leaves was creamy and naturally sweet. This kind of matcha is called "ceremonial-grade." It's the highest grade there is. The stuff that DOES taste like grass is called culinary-grade matcha. It's made from old, later-harvest leaves, and it's cheap. That's why it's the one most cafés and supermarkets serve you. Ceremonial matcha, on the other hand, is not only one of the most natural, sweet rituals you can have in the morning… But it's also PACKED with anti-inflammatory benefits. One day, the youngest daughter, who was in her 20s, came to me saying she'd started feeling things she never expected. Her skin looked better. She felt LESS like a puffed-up balloon every morning. And from the moment she woke up till night-time, she felt energised. Nothing else in her routine had changed, so it was most likely the matcha. Matcha has L-theanine inside it, which gives you up to 6 hours of steady energy, unlike that jittery coffee buzz. Plus, I'd been mixing her matcha with a bit of ashwagandha, which helps significantly with lowering cortisol and inflammation. All the women in the family maintained their beauty and felt good, thanks to this lovely morning matcha and a few healthy habits. But it’s not just women. Men can enjoy AND benefit from matcha too! Especially if you struggle with coffee as I did. (You know, the jitters, crashes, anxiety…) Matcha doesn’t bring any of that. Now, if this excites you and you want to try ceremonial matcha, I have bad news and good news. The bad news is that I unfortunately cannot prepare this matcha for everyone. But the good news is that a brand called Matchafuel is probably the CLOSEST matcha I've found to what I used to prepare for this family. They take 100% ceremonial-grade matcha actually grown in Japan and blend it with ashwagandha, just like I do. The only difference is that Matchafuel goes even deeper on inflammation than the cup I used to make. They basically have adaptogenic mushrooms in the blend too to further help you sleep better at night, feel less foggy, and battle inflammation. And don’t worry, I’ve tried it. Their mushrooms are basically tasteless. I didn't buy Matchafuel for the Japanese family, because they liked to grow and harvest their own matcha on their own land. But not everybody has the luxury to grow their own matcha, or even get the best kind out there. So Matchafuel went and brought real Japanese ceremonial-grade matcha to the UK and the US. And you don't need a chef to make it for you either... You simply add one scoop to a cup, pour in hot or cold water, and stir with a frother. It's ready in about thirty seconds, and tastes like a creamy barista latte. They also have their own 60-day Matchafaction guarantee, meaning if you don't like it, they'll happily refund every penny you spent with them. The richest family I ever worked for were obsessed with a drink you can now make in your own kitchen. If you want to try it, here’s the link: https://matchafuel.com/products/try-matcha-fuel
