1. Almond Matcha Green Tea Latté

Matcha green tea lattes in black bowls with almond milk, maple syrup.

This one caught me by surprise, but at the same time, maybe I shouldn’t be — I have a Matcha Green Tea Latté every afternoon! It’s a bit of calm every single day, and I’m glad so many of you enjoy it, too!
