Traditionally used in Japanese tea ceremonies, matcha green tea is prized for its rich source of health-promoting antioxidants. In fact, matcha contains more antioxidants than any other variety of green tea. Our 100% Matcha Green Tea Powder is a smooth, vibrant barista-grade matcha designed for everyday use. It delivers rich flavor, great color, and effortless mixability-perfect for lattes, smoothies, and baking\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"-4-health-benefits-of-matcha-green-tea-\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4 Health Benefits of Matcha Green Tea\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1) Antioxidant Powerhouse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Matcha green tea powder contains more antioxidants than virtually any other food, including acai berries and pomegranates. It is a uniquely rich source of catechins, a group of antioxidants that protect cells from disruption by free radicals. The oxidative damage caused to normal cells by free radicals has been linked to chronic conditions like cancer, heart disease, and degenerative diseases related to aging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most prominent catechin found in matcha tea is epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), an even more potent form of antioxidant than Vitamin C or E. Matcha powder contains a more highly concentrated form of EGCG than its loose leaf tea counterpart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2) Weight Loss:\u003c\/strong\u003e When it comes to losing weight, matcha green tea can help you in two ways. Firstly, its natural caffeine content promotes thermogenesis, the body's production of heat, which helps burn more calories. Secondly, the EGCG in matcha green tea improves metabolism and promotes the breakdown of stored fat. One-two punch!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3) Reduces Stress:\u003c\/strong\u003e It also contains high levels of L-theanine, an amino acid which lowers stress levels but preserves alertness. Matcha green tea contains up to five times as much L-theanine as regular green tea. The L-theanine counteracts the caffeine in the tea, making matcha ideal for creating a mental state of relaxed alertness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4) Detoxifying Properties:\u003c\/strong\u003e Since matcha leaves are grown in the shade and protected from sunlight, matcha boasts the richest source of chlorophyll compared to all other teas. Chlorophyll is a powerful cleansing and detoxifying agent that helps rid the body of heavy metals and other toxins. It is also responsible for the powder's signature verdant color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"-how-to-make-matcha-green-tea-\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Make Matcha Green Tea\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUsing a spoon:\u003c\/strong\u003e To make matcha green tea, simply blend 0.5-1 teaspoon of 100% matcha powder and a small amount of hot water with a spoon to make a smooth paste.

Whisk in a quick, light zig-zag motion until a layer of green froth appears on the surface. Add more water if desired. 100% matcha powder can be used for thin or thick matcha.

Its tea leaves are grown only in Japan and are shielded from sunlight several weeks before harvest. This helps the leaves darken and produce higher levels of amino acids. After the best tea leaves are picked, they are dried out and ground manually to a fine powder on a stone mill to protect the nutrients in the leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough organically grown foods are often considered superior to non-organic foods, this is not the case with matcha green tea. Unlike other plants, matcha is protected from sunlight for most of its life, in order to develop its rich amino acid profile and unique flavor. As such, it requires fertilizers for energy to grow. The fertilizers used to grow our matcha are high-quality, natural fertilizers, although they are not certified organic. Organic matcha green tea powders may carry the organic label, but they tend to be lighter in color and have a weaker flavor and lower nutrient profile. That's why many connoisseurs buy matcha green tea that is non-organic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"-our-registered-dietitian-s-top-pick-\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur Registered Dietitian's Top Pick\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Registered Dietitian and Health Nut loves matcha green tea powder because of the ‘matcha difference.' This means that drinking matcha is like drinking the actual green tea leaves and is more potent compared to traditionally steeped green tea. Additionally, matcha green tea powder has the amino acid L-theanine, which helps balance out the energy boost from caffeine with a natural relaxing effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"-a-tradition-in-japan-\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Tradition in Japan\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatcha green tea powder was first cultivated by Japanese Zen priests, who developed rituals incorporating matcha.
