Matcha Tea
Proven Ways Matcha Tea Improves Your Health
Matcha like green tea, comes from the Camellia sinensis plant. However, it’s grown differently and has a unique nutrient profile.
👩🌾 How is it made?
Farmers grow matcha by covering their tea plants 20–30 days before harvest to avoid direct sunlight. This increases chlorophyll production, boosts the amino acid content, and gives the plant a darker green hue. Once the tea leaves are harvested, the stems and veins are removed and the leaves are ground up into a fine powder known as matcha.
🍃 Benefits
Matcha contains the nutrients from the entire tea leaf, which results in a greater amount of caffeine and antioxidants than typically found in green tea. Studies of matcha and its components have unearthed a variety of benefits such as:
- High in antioxidants
- May promote heart health
- Boosts brain function
- Helps you lose weight
