Matcha Health Benefits

Pure matcha powder has been shown to have various health benefits due to the combination of caffeine and l-theanine and is considered to be one of the healthiest drinks you can enjoy. Explore why you should make matcha a part of your daily routine.

A CALMING ENERGY BOOST

It's no wonder people are curious about matcha's energy-boosting magic. This vibrant green tea combines natural caffeine with L-theanine, keeping you calm, focused, and energized without the hard crash.

Matcha naturally contains caffeine, but only about one-third the amount found in a cup of coffee. It also contains L-theanine, an amino acid that imparts a natural sweet and savory essence to teas, known as umami. This unique combination provides a more sustained energy boost while promoting relaxation and enhancing focus. Unlike coffee, matcha helps avoid the jitters, delivering a calm yet alert state of mind.

Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCg) is an antioxidant (more specifically a flavonoid / catechin) naturally occurring in matcha and green tea. It is believed to help protect against free radicals and support overall body health. What’s notable is that matcha has approximately 5x the amount of EGCgs than loose leaf green tea for one simple reason, you are consuming the whole leaf as opposed to brewing loose leaf tea and discarding the remnants.
