Matcha: A Superfood for Good Reasons
An ultra-powerful antioxidant
Antioxidants neutralize the negative effects of free radicals, which are responsible for various diseases. Matcha contains the highest concentration of antioxidants in the ORAC scale.
Rich in catechins, EGCG
Matcha is rich in catechins, which reduce the risk of atherosclerosis and have antibacterial and antiviral effects. One bowl of matcha is equivalent to 132 cups of green tea for antioxidant content.
Soothes and relaxes
L-theanine in matcha promotes relaxation and peace of mind without creating drowsiness. A ceremonial grade Matcha contains four times more L-theanine than a regular green tea
Improves memory and concentration
L-Theanine maintains appropriate levels of dopamine and serotonin, promoting feelings of well-being during wakefulness, creativity and motivation.
Increases energy and endurance
Matcha provides a steady energy boost for up to six hours, without the typical coffee side effects. The 80 mg of caffeine in a cup of matcha lasts longer and is more consistent than the 90-150 mg in a cup of coffee.
Promotes weight loss
Matcha green tea speeds up metabolism which can burn fat up to four times faster.
(Of course, as part of a suitable diet and physical activity.)
Perfect detoxification
The high chlorophyll content of matcha helps eliminate toxins. Real matcha from Japan has a beautiful, intense green color thanks to a specific production process.
Strengthens the immune system
Matcha catechins have antibiotic properties and strengthen our immune system. A cup of tea provides significant amounts of vitamins A and C, potassium, calcium and iron.
Helps maintain beautiful skin
Its polyphenols protect against UV rays. By fighting against oxidation and free radicals, they preserve the elasticity of the skin and delay the appearance of wrinkles. It also contains b-carotene which promotes a beautiful complexion!
