What is Matcha?
Matcha tea is grown in Japan using a special process that ensures its unique sweet flavor and wide range of health benefits. The tea leaves are shaded for up to a month before harvest, which creates much more chlorophyll, responsible for the vibrant green color. Additionally, this makes the plant more delicate and packed with nutrients and amino acids.
Once ripe, the highest quality leaves are hand-picked, steamed, dried, and finally ground into a fine powder known as Matcha. The entire process from planting the seed to harvest can take up to 7 years!
And why is Matcha so special?
Japanese Matcha tea has a wide range of uses. You can prepare not only delicious hot and cold drinks from it, but it is also added to desserts, chocolates, or ice creams, giving them a fresh green color and a light tea flavor.
Regularly drinking matcha drinks not only benefits our physical health but also reduces stress, increases alertness and concentration, and calms the mind. Matcha has high antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory effects, aids in blood formation, and lowers blood pressure, sugar, and cholesterol levels. It's simply a universal helper! So, how about having some too?
