Additionally, matcha helps promote the production of serotonin, dopamine, and alpha brain waves, enhancing relaxation and focus. Pretty cool, right?

Brendan Rodgers welcomes quick fire Celtic transfer exit for Nicolas Kuhn for one key reason
The winger is set to seal a move to Serie A side Como and become the latest money-spinning sale boosting the Parkhead coffers Brendan Rodgers reckons Nicolas Kuhn 's megabucks move to Como offers great business all round. And the Celtic manager believes getting a deal done early provides the valuable opportunity to get more incoming moves done quickly in the summer market. Rodgers confirmed Kuhn is close to agreeing a switch to Serie A outfit for a fee understood to be around £17 million. The 25-year-old has been attracted by interest and, with the correct money on the table, Celtic have given the go ahead. Rodgers backs the switch and the timing as he said: 'We've virtually agreed between the club and Como, so it looks at this point that he'll be on his way, but we just have to wait for confirmation. 'I think it's very clear, the model of Celtic. He's come in and in the 18 months he's done absolutely fantastic for us. He was aware of interest towards the end of last season and that sort of followed through. 'Other teams have joined in that interest over the summer and that's why a lot of the young players come. It's a wonderful, brilliant club to come to develop and improve. "And you can see within a short period of time, 18 months, he's now getting the move that he wants. 'He's done brilliant for us in the 18 months and, if he does end up going and signing at Como, then it's great business all round.' Rodgers is instantly on the hunt for more recruits with the early deal key as he continued: 'Yes, it's exactly that. I think it really helps us. "The earlier, the better, really. Because if a player wants to go then I don't see the point in them hanging about. 'Really, if you can get the deal done and you get the valuation, what you think is right, then do it, move on and look to get the replacements in. 'I think we'll always look to improve the squad. There's money there to bring players in. It's just that we're getting the right ones. I'm really excited by this season.' Celtic will make a huge profit having signed the winger for £3 million and Rodgers continued: 'Yeah, and I think that is a part of our script here. Of course, we want to succeed, but a lot of these players come in with the notion that they can develop and improve. 'They're at a brilliant club, but they get the opportunity to go on and earn three or four times more in salary and that's something that will always be a challenge for the likes of ourselves.' As Kuhn's gets set to leave, Celtic have signed Hayato Inamura on a four-year contract after the Japanese centre-half left Albirex Niigata. The 23-year-old links up with countrymen Daizen Maeda and Reo Hatate and has taken the No. 25 shirt once worn by Parkhead icon legend Shunsuke Nakamura. He said: 'He was one of my favourite players. The reason why I chose 25 is because out of the options I was given, that one really stood out to me. 'I used to imitate his kicking style when I was a kid. Many Japanese players have had success at this club. Across the world, this is a massive club and is really well known. 'I am truly excited to be joining Celtic. It's a huge opportunity for me. So far, even the current Japanese players have been performing at a high level.' Rodgers is delighted to get the Asian, but says he's not yet first-team ready and explained: 'No, he won't be. He's, again, a part of the investment of the club. "To bring a player in, we'll assess and see where he's at as a young player. And then it's whether he stays with the squad or whether he has to go out on loan.' Rodgers also confirmed Polish defender Maik Nawrocki is set for German outfit Hannover, with a loan deal mooted. He said: 'He's had a couple of years where he hasn't quite got the games that he would have liked. So it's important that he goes out and plays."

Meanwhile, new Celts signing Hayato Inamura aims to follow in the footsteps of Hoops legend Shunsuke Nakamura. The Japanese centre-back last night agreed a four-year deal from J-League outfit Albirex Niigata. And Inamura, 23, has snapped up ex-hero Naka's no25 jersey. 3 Hayato Inamura watching the friendly from the stands Credit: PA He said: 'The reason why I chose 25 is because out of the options I was given, that one really stood out to me. 'Then obviously regarding Nakamura, I used to imitate his kicking style when I was a kid. 'He was one of my favourite players.' Celts moved for Inamura after agreeing to let £4million misfit stopper Maik Nawrocki join Hannover 96 on loan, with an option to make the move permanent. Inamura added: 'Many Japanese players have had success at this club. Across the world, this is a massive club and is really well known. 'I am truly excited to be joining Celtic. It's a huge opportunity for me. 3 'So far, even the current Japanese players have been performing at a high level. "I think that is why there are expectations on Japanese players. 'I really want to live up to those expectations and do my best.' Celts boss Brendan Rodgers insists the capture of Inamura represents more good business by the club. He added: 'We're delighted to bring Hayato to Celtic and we're looking forward to working with him. 'He's a young player full of promise and potential. 'I know that he's delighted to be taking this next step in his career by joining us, and we look forward to welcoming him into the squad.'

Beloved restaurant chain closes after 20 years leaving fans 'heartbroken'
London restaurant chain Ping Pong has closed down after more than two decades on the high street. The dim sum specialists, founded in Soho in 2004, had 13 branches at their peak before slimming down to four more recently. These were located on South Bank, near St Paul's Cathedral, Marylebone and Soho's Great Marlborough Street. Bosses did not give a reason for the decision, which comes three years after they appointed administrators and revealed the company had racked up considerable debt over the Covid pandemic. In a statement posted on social media, the firm said: 'It's a wrap. After 20 unforgettable years, all Ping Pong locations are now permanently closed. 'We're incredibly proud of what we built, an independent hospitality brand full of creativity, flavour, and soul. 'To everyone who joined us over the years, for dim sum dates, happy hours, bottomless brunches, and just-because catch-ups — thank you. 'You shared your moments with us, passed around little parcels of deliciousness, and helped make Ping Pong what it was. 'To our collaborators, suppliers, and the incredible team who kept the steam going, thank you.' Loyal fans reacted with disappointment, with one user commenting: 'This is really sad to hear. 'The menu did change a lot after Covid which did lose some of its authentic charm but I'm still gutted.' Metro's Patrycja Zaras said: 'I'm genuinely heartbroken, I absolutely loved this place. 'I used to take all my friends and family there and over time it became the backdrop for so many memories. Ever since a colleague casually introduced me to it on a lunch break, I kept coming back. 'It was the kind of place you could always rely on for high-quality, comforting food that didn't break the bank. Whether I was running errands around Oxford Circus, weighed down with shopping bags or just in the area and craving their dim sum. 'It's rare to find a spot that feels both familiar and special and losing it honestly feels like the end of an era.' Former Masterchef contestant Nisha Parmar, who is now a private chef, said: 'This is very very sad. Will be sorely missed.' Founder Kurt Zdesar, who left the chain in 2007, said: 'The UK has become increasingly difficult to survive this current economical environment. Very sad news.' The chain was taken over in 2013 by Art Sagiryan, whose father Igor was its main backer when it opened. A deal arranged as part of the 2022 administration saw it sold to a new entity set up by its owners, with all staff transferred over. The brand sparked controversy last year after banning customers from tipping staff using their card payments, allowing tips to be accepted only in cash form. More Trending It replaced the 12.5% service fee with a new 15% 'brand fee' at the end of every bill which would go into the company's coffers. Bosses said the money would be used to fund wage rises for all staff, claiming it would 'match earnings they would have received with service charge distribution'. The Unite union said the 15% 'won't' go to workers, calling the claim 'completely disingenuous'. Bosses backtracked after the backlash.
