Oh Cha Matcha Immunity Booster Shots

Oh Cha Matcha has brought back the matcha immunity booster shots to its wide range of matcha menu. To make it more flavourful, Oh Cha Matcha has added in two flavours to boost its nutrition value. The matcha shots are available in two flavours; the Orange Matcha Booster or Ginger with Turmeric Matcha Booster. All are prepared with a hint of stevia to offer sweetness.

Matcha is well-known to contain high antioxidant content and helps in anti-inflammatory, boost metabolism, lower cholesterol and anti-aging. The matcha offered by Oh Cha Matcha is the finest imported directly from the holy land of matcha Uji, Kyoto, Japan. Due to the purity of the matcha, it has over 137 times more antioxidants than regular green tea. #NOFAKESTUFF has always been the belief of Oh Cha Matcha as they passionately only use natural ingredients. Hence it’s no artificial syrup, no sugar, no colouring and low in calories.

Founders Choong Kar Wai and Choong Kar Heng, are also the founders of CoffeeSociété in Publika and Garage 51 in Bandar Sunway. Oh Cha Matcha is the first boutique matcha café in Malaysia that offers a range of healthy, playful and quirky matcha beverage options.

The brothers realized consumers have become more pro-active than they used to be when it comes to their health. They are now more engaged in their quest for good health and are more discerning in adopting healthy lifestyle choices. Oh Cha Matcha was conceived to fulfil this demand with innovative healthy matcha concoctions.

Matcha is a traditional Japanese stone-ground powdered green tea which can be blended into hot drinks. In recent years, matcha has attained global appeal thanks to its powerful antioxidant properties and vitamin composition.

At Oh Cha Matcha, purists will enjoy the traditional favorites whilst adventurous foodies and fitness buffs will appreciate the Drink Your Colours and Beauty Series (collagen infused) categories. The popular ceremonial grade matcha is of the highest grade and the choice of the Emperor of Japan for tea ceremonies, grown on the holy land of matcha in Uji, Kyoto.

While some cafes do offer dairy-free milk as substitutes to regular milk, Oh Cha Matcha offers a choice of soy milk, oat milk, almond milk, cashew milk and coconut milk, all unsweetened, completely natural, no colouring and low in calories, and at no extra cost. Besides matcha, Oh Cha Matcha also offers a food menu.

“Having a concept that stands out from others is important but it is not enough. Our aim is to create a boutique space that evokes a sense of belonging. Oh Cha Matcha should be a destination where relationships are built, friendships made and communities unite.” said Kar Wai as he wanted to ensure that their matcha and its community remains the core of their business and the main reason people stay loyal to their brand.

“We hope to differentiate ourselves by generating a close, authentic link with people and with the community as a whole. Our community is our heartbeat.” said Kar Heng.
