Wellness and Matcha Tea
Matcha is well known for its numerous health benefits. It is rich in fiber, antioxidants and chlorophyll. When you drink green tea for health benefits, you typically steep a bag or leaves in a strainer for a few minutes and then trash the leaves. With Matcha you are taking in the whole leaf, not just the steamed/brewed water. Did you know that one glass of matcha tea is the equivalent of 10 glasses of regular green tea when it comes to the nutritional value and antioxidant content.
Matcha tea also contains amino acids. The amino acids found in matcha offer a sustained calm alertness over time. These very same amino acids give matcha its distinctive taste.
