Every day, more and more people are moving back towards a more natural way of healthy living and eating – which means that more and more herbal supplements and natural foods are becoming available on the shelves of our grocery stores. It can be really confusing to sort out the health benefits of similar products, and decide which one is right for you. Matcha not only provides you with energy for the day without the jitters like coffee, but its health benefits are worth the hype people are raving about.
Matcha is finely ground powder of specially grown green tea leaves (known as Tencha). Green tea plants for matcha are shade-grown for about three weeks before harvest. The plants are covered with bamboo mats to limit their exposure to sunlight. The decreased sunlight increases the plants’ chlorophyll content, contributing to its vibrant bright green color. The green tea leaves are hand-picked, stems and veins are removed, are steamed, and air dried before stone grinding the leaves into Matcha green tea powder. Yay...Hello Matcha!
When you drink matcha you ingest the entire leaf and receive 100% of the nutrients of the leaf. Matcha powdered green tea has 137 times more antioxidants than regularly brewed green tea. One cup of matcha = 10 cups of regularly brewed green tea in terms of nutritional content. Antioxidants and specifically green tea catechins can play an important role in preventing disease and healing the body. EGCg, an antioxidant found only in green tea, is the catechin with the most renowned cancer–fighting properties.
