Green tea and matcha tea are similar in that
they come from the same Camellia Sinensis plant, are 1,000-year-old
superfoods, and their nutritional profiles are said to provide many
health benefits. Unlike regular green tea,
matcha tea is shade grown 20-30 days before it
is harvested. This process not only increases the amino acid content of
the tea, but also the chlorophyll content which gives
matcha tea its bright emerald color. After the
leaves are harvested, the leaves are steamed, dried and ground into a
fine powder. When you drink matcha tea , you’re
getting the nutrients from the entire tea leaf. This means you’re
getting consuming more antioxidants.
