Take the Matcha Challenge & WIN Matcha for a Year
What is the OMGTea Matcha Challenge?
The Matcha Challenge is a campaign we run every January/February, where participants consume quality matcha tea every day for 21 days. At the end of the 21 days, we distribute a short survey to complete, with questions related to health and wellbeing so that they can assess the impact daily consumption of matcha has had on them.
At the heart of the OMGTea Matcha Challenge, is our belief that regular consumption of quality matcha is a simple way to do something positive for your health and wellbeing and we are proud to be supporting others in making healthy choices that will have both immediate and long-term benefits.
The Challenge officially starts on January 1st, and it runs until end of February so that you can choose the time that is best for you to start and finish. And of course, there is no need to stop daily consumption at the end of the 21 days. In fact, 99% of last year’s participants said they would continue to consume OMGTea daily or regularly following the Challenge!
We have set our Matcha Challenge at 21 days as we think this is the ideal amount of time to give your body a chance to adapt to the healthy, restorative, and energising effects of matcha.
The challenge is simple, have a minimum of one serving per day. One serving is one gram or half a teaspoon and it can be consumed as a tea, in a latte or smoothie, as a supplement or in other recipes of your choice. There are just a few things to consider:
- When making your matcha tea or latte, water or milk should be no more than 80 degrees Celsius. Any hotter and it will degrade the nutrients and could make it taste bitter.
- Once it’s been made, we recommend consuming your matcha straight away.
- Whilst not necessary, we recommend storing your matcha in the fridge once opened. This will help to preserve its freshness for longer.
- Baking or cooking with matcha delivers a beautiful colour and a great taste but it will also affect the nutrients meaning that you won’t experience the same benefits, unless of course, it is a raw recipe.
