Only a few years ago, Matcha became very popular, but this green tea is actually nothing new. Matcha has been central to Japanese tea ceremonies since the 12th century.
With Matcha, only the finest parts of the tea leaves are ground into a fine powder. Stems or veins are not used. However, matcha is not merely a noble type of tea; it also contains significant active ingredients.
Matcha tea contains L-theanine, an amino acid that induces a calm and meditative state. It is therefore no coincidence that Buddhist monks have consumed this tea for centuries.
Coffee can often have a stimulating effect, whereas the caffeine in Matcha promotes a sense of calm and enhanced focus. Furthermore, the tea positively influences sustained attention and memory.
Green tea, including matcha, is also recognized as one of the most beneficial beverages for heart health. It can aid in weight loss, offer protection against certain types of cancer, and enhance physical performance—these being just a few of matcha’s numerous positive effects.
