Matcha tea

Matcha is a high quality Japanese green tea powder. Before the tea leaves are harvested, they are shaded, limiting sun access by up to 95%. This results in slower leaf growth and thus more concentrated amino acid (L-theanine) formation giving the leaves a natural sweetness. After harvesting, the tea leaves are treated by stripping them of veins and stalks and ground in granite mills into an extremely fine powder. HEALTH BENEFITS: Matcha powder has gained popularity due to its significant health effects, umami taste and distinctively green color. It is a great source of antioxidants, energy and vitamins A, B, C, E. The theanine contained in it calms down, the caffeine invigorates, creating the effect of keeping the body alert and active while keeping the mind calm. Drinking Matcha tea also drinks the tea leaves, thus absorbing 100% of the active ingredients.
