Matcha is by far the most potent form of green tea available on the market today.
matcha tea leaf Matcha green tea is approximately 10 to 15 times stronger than regular'steeped' green tea due to the fact that it consists of the entire tea leaf, ground to a fine powder.
The immense health-giving properties of Matcha are beyond any other tea and virtually any other natural beverage on the planet. Matcha has approximately 70 times the antioxidants of orange juice and 9 times the beta-carotene of spinach. Matcha literally has more antioxidant power than blueberries. The health benefits of Matcha may include:
* Significantly increases energy (over 8-10 hours) without the caffeine 'jitters'
* Improves mental alertness
* Increases calmness and reduces stress
* Boosts metabolic rate by 35-40% in regular drinkers, facilitating weight loss
* Powerful 'anti-aging' activity due to super-charged antioxidants
* Lowers blood pressure
* Decreases levels of LDL or 'bad' cholesterol
* Minimizes symptoms of PMS
* Super immune-boosting activity due to high levels of polyphenols and catechins
* Stabilizes blood sugar levels
* Powerful anti-biotic and anti-viral activity
* Strong blood cleanser/detoxifier and alkalizer due to high chlorophyll content
matcha tea leafMatcha has been consumed in Japan for almost 1000 years, traditionally reserved for royalty, religious dignitaries and spiritual luminaries.Matcha growth and production is a very complex and refined process, specific to the country of Japan. Matcha leaves are handpicked, and only the youngest, tenderest leaves at the tip of the tea plant are harvested. The plants are carefully shade grown for several months prior to picking, in order to boost chlorophyll content. These precious, extremely green leaves are then inspected, lightly steamed to halt any enzymatic breakdown, and ground to an ultra-fine powder on traditional stone grinders.
Matcha is simple to mix and store, and there are virtually no contra-indications. Matcha is non-addictive and there are no known 'withdrawal' effects.
