The Science of Matcha: More Than Just Tea

Matcha is a nutritional powerhouse. Our Organic matcha is made with whole tea leaf and stone-ground into a fine powder, which you consume, maximizing the intake of its nutrients. Here’s what makes matcha stand out:

  1. Packed with Antioxidants: Matcha is rich in catechins, especially EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), a compound that fights free radicals and reduces inflammation. According to studies published in the Journal of Medicinal Food, matcha contains 137 times more EGCG than standard green tea. This antioxidant powerhouse supports skin health, reduces signs of aging, and combats chronic inflammation.
  2. L-Theanine for Mental Focus: One of matcha’s unique benefits is its high levels of L-theanine, an amino acid that promotes relaxation without causing drowsiness. A study in The Journal of Nutrition shows that L-theanine enhances cognitive performance, improves focus, and boosts mental clarity. Combined with caffeine, matcha provides a calm, focused energy—perfect for powering through your day.
  3. Boosts Metabolism and Burns Fat: For those looking to maintain a healthy weight, matcha can be a great ally. According to research in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, matcha increases thermogenesis (the rate at which your body burns calories), helping boost metabolism and support weight loss. Incorporate it into your daily routine and experience the difference.
  4. Natural Detoxification: Thanks to its high chlorophyll content, matcha supports the body’s detoxification processes. Chlorophyll helps cleanse the blood and supports liver function, making matcha an excellent detox aid. It’s a great addition to your morning routine, helping your body naturally flush out toxins.
