The champagne of green tea.
Historically, most monks have used caffeine (especially in matcha tea) to promote alertness and wakefulness for meditative purposes. Here’s what makes matcha so unique:
-
- Optimum Growing
- Tea plants that are to be used for matcha are covered with shade barriers during the last month of growing. The blocks out 95% of the Sun’s UV Rays, causing the plant to produce more amino acid nutrients.
-
- Optimum Processing
- Only the youngest tea leaves near the top of the plant are harvested for ceremonial matcha. The leaves are also de-stemmed and de-veined for even better flavor. The leaves are ground into a fine powder by granite mills. The granite absorbs the heat energy from grinding, and keeps the temperature low. This keeps the nutrients intact without burning off the delicate flavor or color.
-
- Optimum Consuming
- Matcha literally means “powdered tea” in Japanese. Rather than steeping the leaves and discarding, matcha powder is of such high quality that the leaves are consumed whole. This gives you the most benefit possible from the leaf.
Green Energy
No jitters. No coffee-crash. Matcha provides natural caffeine that's easier on the body.
Antioxidants
One cup of matcha contains more antioxidants than 10 cups of regular green tea.
Metabolism Aid
The unique antioxidant EGCG, or epigallocatechin gallate, is known to support metabolism.
Brain Boost
Matcha contains L-Theanine, a rare amino acid shown to promote your focus and calm.
Nothing new here.
Matcha has been consumed in Japan for nearly a thousand years. Its impressive health benefits have just started to reach the Western World in recent years.
