UK-based Modo Drinks has launched a new line of cold-pressed teas, which harness the antioxidant and detox properties of matcha, blended with fresh fruit juices.
Available in two blends, Modo drinks are steeped in a cold-brew process and mixed only with natural ingredients. Once all of the goodness has been extracted from the highest quality matcha tea leaves and the powder steeps, the brew is combined with raw fruit juices to create two Modo drinks: lemon and matcha green tea, and pineapple and matcha green tea.
Modo Drinks have been developed from founder and mix master Salvatore Lioniello’s passion for matcha. Fresh and cold pressed, matcha is a very powerful type of green tea found in Japan. It is created by dissolving powdered green tea leaves in a cold brew that because it is unpasteurised, retains high levels of vitamins A and E, beta-carotene and antioxidants. Fresh matcha is powerful and refreshing and helps the body detox while restoring energy levels. Buddhist monks believed matcha contained a precious, life preserving medicine but it is also brimming with other health benefits, including increased mental clarity and a stronger immune system.
Modo founder Salvatore Lioniello said: “We’re very excited to launch our exquisite, healthy blend of matcha cold-pressed drinks this New Year. These are the very first cold-pressed tea drinks to be available anywhere in the country and make old-fashioned drinks outstanding with a modern twist.
“Packed with flavour and overflowing with detox and antioxidant properties, our teas offer a perfect New Year boost and lay the foundations for a healthy 2016. We’re delighted to launch in Selfridges and look forward to showcasing our delicious drinks at the Modo pop up, during Japan Week in February.”
