Matcha has entered the chat.
Given our collective shift to be more aware and considered when it comes to health and wellness, it makes sense that this ancient tradition has become more mainstream in recent years.
Not only is the antioxidant-rich tasty green tea taking over our favourite café’s and social media feeds, it’s inspiring leading perfumers like Le Labo and Maison Margiela thanks to it’s invigorating and comforting scent.
With countless health benefits and an aesthetically pleasing hue, the era of matcha domination is upon us.
As any matcha connoisseur would be aware, not all tea’s are brewed equal. With that in mind, we’ve tapped local matcha lover and fashion influencer Yan Yan Chan for her guide to making the ultimate matcha.
“Matcha to me, is a ritual” says Yan. As her morning vice Yan describes that she likes to take a moment to “set my gratitude or intention for the day.”
It’s equally effortless as it is mouthwatering and mindful, with a serene state of mind guaranteed in every cup.
Keep reading below for Yan’s go-to matcha recipe and her tips for staying present and being in the moment.

Yan Yan Chan’s Matcha Recipe

- Mix your milk and matcha.
- Enjoy, breathe and be present.
