Matcha

What is Matcha?

Matcha and green tea derive from the same tea leaves; but unlike green tea, matcha is finely ground into powder.
Matcha bushes are kept in the shade to help increase chlorophyll and amino acid levels, thereby boosting the health benefits it provides to matcha drinkers.**

A Powerhouse Ingredient

What makes matcha such a popular must-have among wellness enthusiasts is the presence of naturally-occurring L-theanine, an amino acid that provides an “alert calm” rather than a jolt and eventual crash,** which can be the case with other morning beverages.
