You couldn’t have missed matcha latte if you are a food lover and a healthy one at that. The bright green tea has taken the food world by storm – you can see pictures of matcha-flavored lattes, smoothies, ice creams and even cheesecakes all over the Internet. But recently the tea got a super-duper celebrity boost after the Kardashian sisters gave it their stamp of approval.

Kourtney Kardashian, who has sworn off coffee for the last decade or so, recently wrote in her blog, “A lot of you have been asking me what I order from Starbucks or Coffee Bean — especially since I don’t drink coffee or espresso,” She explained, “Lately I’ve been getting a hot matcha latte with almond coconut milk.” 38-year-old Kardashian, who’s a mom of three, also added that green tea made her tummy flatter and reduced signs of cellulite. When the younger sister, Kim Kardashian, was asked about her beverage of choice, she said, “Just water. I’m trying to drink lots of water, but I recently had a matcha latte and it was so good.” [1]
