Matcha

Matcha

Matcha is a powder that’s made of finely ground green tea leaves from the Camellia sinensis plant. Matcha is grown differently from green tea. When growing matcha, the tea plants are shade-grown for about three to four weeks before harvest. This process causes the plants to produce more caffeine and theanine, which results in matcha’s unique nutrient composition.   

 

Health Benefits

Matcha is rich in caffeine and amino acids. Like green tea, Matcha contains high concentrations of antioxidants, including catechins, which may help prevent cell damage and reduce the risk of chronic diseases. The study also shows that catechins and caffeine found in Matcha may have slight beneficial effects on weight loss and management.
