Let's talk about matcha tea
Green tea is as an antioxidant powerhouse, but matcha has more benefits. Matcha is a finely ground powder of green tea processed from shade-grown tea leaves giving it its characteristic bright green color and umami flavour. When you make other forms of green tea, you steep the leaves in hot water and discard them, but with matcha, you consume the entire tea leaf.
Studies show that because of the way it is made, matcha may have more of those than loose-leaf green tea. The antioxidants it contains may lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of heart disease, and boost your metabolism. Matcha is one of the planet's best natural sources of antioxidants, serving over 10 times the amount of antioxidants typically found in a cup of green tea.
