HOT and COLD –
Sept. 10, 2025 – A health expert and nutritionist has issued a warning about the potential side effects of drinking matcha – especially if you’re taking certain medications.
For those who are unfamiliar with the popular drink, matcha is a green, fine powder made from ground, shade-grown green tea leaves. Once made into tea, it can be consumed hot or iced and combined with a whole slew of different Instagrammable flavours including blueberry, cinnamon, and banana, to name just a few. It’s become increasingly popular among Gen Z and Millennials, who are citing the drink’s health benefits as a reason to introduce it into their diet in place of coffee.
People are so obsessed with the green beverage that earlier this year there was a shortage in Japan, meaning that tea companies were forced impose strict purchase limits on consumers.
