Japanese green tea matcha

Green tea matcha is considered to be the healthier variant of the ordinary green tea. When we’re drinking matcha, we are technically drinking the entire leaves and not just tea infused water. Matcha has its origin in Japanese culture and is considered to be the best green tea of the highest quality. The tea leaves are picked from the very top of the plant Camellia sinensis, then they are steamed, the stems are disposed of, and then they are dried before the pulp of the leaves gets milled to a very fine powder – matcha tea; then it is stored and protected from sunlight and oxygen so that its vibrant green colour and antioxidant properties are preserved.

Why drinking Matcha Tea pays off

1 Matcha Tea induces feelings of peaceful mind

The presence of the aminoacid L-theanine in the leaves used to produce Matcha Tea stimulates the production of alpha waves in brain, which also induces feelings of calmness and relaxation without drowsiness.

2 Strengthens memory and concentration

L-theanine produces hormones like dopamine and serotonin which boost mood, support memory and improve concentration.

3 Helps burn calories

Green tea matcha can boost your metabolism and help with burning excessive body fat about 50 % faster than normal. With no side effects such as higher heart rate or high blood pressure.

4 Rich source of catechins (EGCG)

Antioxidants catechins are the most effective and most beneficial for our body. Green tea matcha is an amazing source of one particular catechin called epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG).

5 Washes out toxins from our body

The process of green tea production from Camellia sinensis plant requires shading of the leaves from the sunlight. This raises their production of chlorophyll. The final high amount of chlorophyl provides the tea with its characteristic green colour but also makes matcha a strong antioxidant that can wash toxins and heavy metals out of our body.

6 Provides you with energy

Because of the unique combination of aminoacids and caffeine, matcha is gentler to your body than coffee or energy drinks. The caffeine in matcha is also released gradually for three to six hours, so there is no spike and crash, which usually occur with drinking coffee or energy drinks.

7 Helps the right function of immune system

Catechins found in this tea can support the right function of immune system. Just one cup of green matcha tea provides many nutritions, such as potassium, vitamins A and C, iron, calcium or proteins.
