Basil cocktail with Matcha

This lime, basil and Matcha drink is a true harmony of different flavors and bubbles.

Refreshing acidity from limes, aroma of basil and mild sweetness, subtle green note of Matcha tea - a considerable palette of flavors and a perfect balance. No one flavor is too dominant, so each ingredient complements the other. This combination of flavors creates a unique experience and is ideal when you want something fresh and refreshing.

It is not only a fashionable drink, but also an antioxidant and vitamin bomb! Not only super tasty, but also healthy. 

Matcha - "superfood". One cup of this drink gives us energy for the whole day. The L-theanine in tea increases the concentration of dopamine and serotonin, which causes a relaxing effect, a great mood and a sense of well-being. L-Theanine promotes memory and concentration. Matcha is also full of antioxidants. One dose of Matcha tea provides 5 times more antioxidants per day than fruits, green vegetables, dark chocolate or other products.
