As the clean eating/healthy lifestyle movement is growing and gaining popularity, so is our awareness about what we put in our body and how we can achieve our optimal health.  The market is flooded with a plethora of healthy supplements, superfoods, new diets etc, all aiming towards the same goal—optimal health.

Why Matcha Green Tea?

Unlike other green teas and loose leaf teas, matcha allows you to take full advantage of an incredible supply of antioxidants, minerals, amino-acids, and vitamins. Most people are unaware that, when preparing a regular cup of tea, most nutrients remain trapped – hence unused – in the tea leaves. With matcha –which literally means ‘powdered tea’ – you are ingesting the actual leaves of the green tea plant, thus enjoying all the benefits it has to offer! One cup of matcha green tea offers the health benefits of 10 cups of regular steeped green tea.  Matcha is rich in potent nutrients such as polyphenols, minerals (Vitamin A, B-Complex, C, E, and K), fiber, potassium and chlorophyll.  Matcha is especially rich in the amino acid L-theanine, responsible for it’s sweet flavor and the sense of relaxation and calmness associated with its consumption.  Per serving matcha contains 70mg of caffeine (around double that of regular green tea).
