Recently, Tang Thanh Ha has been sharing her love for matcha latte on social media. Whether she’s traveling or catching up with friends, the actress always opts for this distinctive Japanese beverage.

From travels to get-togethers with friends, the actress always chooses this distinctive Japanese beverage.
Unlike the usual preparation, Tang Thanh Ha often combines matcha with plant-based milk such as cashew or oat milk, instead of fresh milk. Sometimes, she adds coconut water or coconut sugar for a natural, subtly sweet taste.
Health and Beauty Benefits of Matcha
Matcha is not just a delicious drink but also a “superfood” for skin rejuvenation, thanks to its high content of antioxidants.
EGCG (Epigallocatechin gallate) is an antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals, reduces inflammation, and shields the skin from UV damage. Catechin and Polyphenols diminish wrinkles, age spots, and aid in preventing skin cancer. Caffeine boosts blood circulation under the skin, promoting a rosy complexion and reducing eye puffiness and dark circles. Vitamin K, C, E, and Panthenol nourish the skin and hair. Matcha powder is made by natural drying, preserving nutrients, and has 137 times more antioxidants than a regular cup of green tea.

Ideal Time to Drink Matcha
According to nutrition experts, the morning is the golden time to absorb antioxidants from matcha. Drinking matcha in the morning, especially on an empty stomach, maximizes the benefits of catechin and other beneficial nutrients.
It is recommended to consume matcha about two hours before or after a meal to avoid interfering with nutrient absorption. Avoid adding milk to matcha as it may reduce its antioxidant capacity.
Some Beauty Tips with Matcha
Acne Treatment Mask
Mix matcha powder with rice bran or coconut oil and aloe vera gel to create an effective acne-fighting mask. Apply the mixture to your face, rinse with warm water, and repeat 2–3 times a week for best results. Consistent use for 1–2 months will bring noticeable improvements to your skin.
Matcha powder helps treat acne due to its anti-inflammatory properties, effectively tackling stubborn acne like blackheads, cystic acne, and blind pimples.
Erase Dark Circles and Wrinkles
Rich in skin-nourishing nutrients, matcha powder provides moisture to the skin. For those who stay up late, have difficulty sleeping, or think too much, matcha can be a simple solution to reduce dark circles. Simply chill matcha ice cubes or soak cotton pads in matcha tea and apply them to your eyes to relax and brighten your eye area.
Tighten Pores with Matcha Powder
Mix one tablespoon of matcha powder with three tablespoons of water, let it sit for five minutes, and then add more water to create a paste. Applying this mixture to your face will help cleanse your skin and effectively tighten pores over time.
