Modern research has proven that matcha tea contains high levels of L-Theanine, a rare amino acid that promotes relaxation by helping the brain function properly.

2. Mother Nature has truly blessed mankind with
its bounty from green tea. In terms of special
taste and long lasting health effects green
tea gives a wide array of matcha
tea especially in green tea powder form. Even
in its powder form, green tea or matcha tea
has high fiber content and unmatched
antioxidant performance. It can even be
taken either hot or cold.

3. Matcha green tea provides
many fresh health benefits such
as increasing the body’s vigor
and vitality, improving the
diet, helping control most
illnesses, controlling weight
gain, helping to fight cancer,
purifying the blood, controlling
blood sugar, increasing
antioxidants, and providing the
body with additional minerals
and vitamins.

4. Naturally you can’t just chew tea leaves, so the solution to this is
matcha tea. Matcha tea is simply straight and stoneground tea
leaves with the final product coming out in powder form. Thus, a
single serving of matcha tea or green tea powder retains all its
health benefit potency while to match this same potency, you will
need to drink at least ten cups of brewed green tea leaves.
Matcha tea and tea leaves
When people brew a cup of
green tea leaves, the water
– even when boiling – can
only extract a fraction of
the benefits from the
leaves. The majority of the
health benefits such as
minerals and vitamins
remain trapped inside the
green tea leaves.

5. Matcha tea is unmatched in antioxidants
For the novice, antioxidants are chemical compounds that naturally occur in
the body and help fight aging and chronic illnesses. On mainstream media
antioxidant properties are frequently mentioned for a wide array of fruits and
vegetables. While these are true, very little mention is given to matcha tea or
green tea in powder form, even with its containing more antioxidants in one
cup of green tea than a handful of green vegetables according to the latest
research on antioxidants.

6. In a research done at Tufts
University using a method called
Oxygen Radical Absorbance
Capacity (ORAC), researchers
discovered that matcha tea
contains exponentially 20 times
more antioxidants than in
pomegranates, blueberries, and
green vegetables. Matcha tea
contains 1,573 units per gram
compared to only 105 units per
gram in pomegranates and
vegetables and 93 units in
blueberries.

7. Matcha tea has catechins
Matcha tea green tea powder contains a unique class of
antioxidants called catechins. They are a rare type of
antioxidant and very potent against cancer cells. In
particular, EGCG or epigallocatechin gallate and its other
catechins drive out the effects of free radicals caused by
pollution, too much UV rays, radiation, and chemicals that
can lead to DNA and other cell damage. In fact, one cup of
matcha tea alone contains over 60 percent of catechins.

8. Matcha tea helps you to
relax, concentrate, or focus
Modern research has proven
that matcha tea contains
high levels of L-Theanine, a
rare amino acid that
promotes relaxation by
helping the brain function
properly. Often stress can
induce beta waves and cause
an agitated state whereas L-
Theanine induces alpha
waves that relaxes the brain
and body. The L-Theanine in
matcha tea is five times
more than what is contained
in black and green tea
leaves.
