Matcha is perhaps the most popular green tea on the market today. The first thing you will notice upon opening the packet is that Matcha is a finely powdered green tea and looks like an emerald colored flour. This characteristic truly sets it apart from other teas.
When brewed, the powdered leaf is not strained or left in the pot, but is whisked into a frothy concoction and consumed. Because the leaves themselves are imbibed, brewed Matcha contains higher concentrations of vitamins and antioxidants than most other teas, green, herbal, or otherwise. According to researches done in Japan, brewed Matcha contains nearly 10 times the polyphenols and antioxidants of regular teas, 2 times the antioxidants of a glass of red wine, approximately 9 times the beta-carotene of spinach, and 4 times that of carrots.
 
Listed below are some of the many health benefits of Matcha green tea.
  • Significantly increases energy (over 8 to 10 hours) without the caffeine "jitters".
  • Improves mental alertness (L-theanine component)
  • Increases calmness and reduces stress (L-theanine component)
  • Boosts metabolic rate by 35-40%
  • Powerful "Anti-Aging" activity due to the super-charged antioxidants
  • Lowers blood pressure
  • Decreases level of LDL or "bad"cholesterol
  • Minimizes symptoms of PMS
  • "Super" cancer-fighting and cancer-preventative activity (due to extremely high levels of polyphenols and catechins)
  • Eases constipation due to high level of easily absorbable dietary fiber
  • Stabilizes blood sugar levels
  • Powerful anti-biotic and anti-viral activity
  • Strong blood detoxifier and alkalyzer, due to the high Chlorophyll content
