Learn about Matcha

Matcha is a finely powdered form of green tea from Japan, where it is traditionally used in tea ceremonies. The leaves are grown fully shade-covered and specially steam processed. Matcha contains higher levels of chlorophyll, antioxidants and theanine (a mood enhancing amino acid) than found in regular green tea. Rich in catechins, particularly the antioxidant EGCG, it helps combat oxidative stress and supports cellular health. Matcha’s high chlorophyll content, a result of its unique shading process during cultivation, aids in detoxification. It provides a mood enhancing calm alertness thanks to its combination of caffeine and L-theanine. Studies have also linked Matcha consumption to improved heart health, reduced inflammation, and better cholesterol levels.
