What is Matcha?

A Superfood

Matcha is a finely ground powder of green tea leaves that are shade-grown, steamed, and stone-ground, resulting in a concentrated dose of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.

Beyond a Drink

Beyond its use in beverages, matcha can be incorporated into various dishes like desserts, smoothies, and even savory sauces, adding a unique flavor and vibrant color.

Matcha Health Benefits

Boosts Energy

Matcha contains caffeine and Ltheanine, which work synergistically to provide a
sustained energy boost without jitters, promoting focus and alertness.

Antioxidant Powerhouse

Matcha is packed with antioxidants, including catechins, which help protect cells from
damage, reducing the risk of chronic diseases and promoting overall health.

Mental Clarity

The L-theanine in matcha promotes relaxation and focus, enhancing cognitive function and mood, reducing stress and anxiety.
