Matcha Green Tea

Matcha is a form of Japanese green tea that is used in the traditional Japanese tea ceremony. Matcha is made from a special kind of tea plant, the Camellia Sinensis. This produces a type of tea known as tencha. Tencha spends some of its growing time partially covered. This technique increases the amount of chlorophyll it contains, giving it a bright green color. Of all the natural antioxidant-rich foods, matcha green tea contains some of the highest levels of catechins. As a result, drinking matcha regularly can greatly aid in workout recovery, burn fat, and encourage strength at a cellular level. Matcha Green tea is packed with antioxidants including the powerful EGCg. Please check below in the ‘more information’ section to see the health benefits of Matcha Green Tea.
