Matcha

Question 1

What is Matcha?

Answer 1

Matcha is a traditional Japanese green tea powder produced by stone-milling a
shade-grown green tea called tencha into a fine powder. Matcha is unique among teas
in that when we drink matcha, we consume the fresh green tea leaf itself, ground and
whisked up into an energizing, refreshing drink.

Question 2

Benefits of Matcha

Answer 2

It contains antioxidants and the amino acid L-theanine, which is known to reduce
stress and anxiety. Drinking matcha provides you with sustained energy from caffeine,
but without the crash associated with other sources of caffeine (ie coffee). Moreover,
matcha might improve attention, reaction time, and memory. Although it has
somewhat of an acquired taste, we encourage you to try this fresh and vibrant drink,
often called the “espresso of tea.”
