Description

Matcha green tea is known as the best tea, one of the main health benefits associated with its consumption is that it provides a mega dose of antioxidants. Matcha is a rich source of antioxidants and polyphenols. One cup of matcha tea is nutritionally equivalent to 10 cups of brewed green tea. Matcha tea leaves are picked by hand, but unlike traditional green tea, preparation involves covering the tea bushes with a cloth before they are picked to prevent exposure to sunlight.

The principle of action

Antioxidants are useful for almost every part of the body. They protect the body from harmful free radicals and benefit your skin, heart, eyes and immune system. Catechins, one of the antioxidants found in matcha powder, are powerful disease fighters.

Application

Matcha green tea is used for weight problems, cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, oral health problems, and more.

9 reasons to start drinking matcha:

1. Matcha contains a large amount of antioxidants

Antioxidants are wines and enzymes responsible for fighting oxidation. In particular, they rejuvenate the skin and prevent a number of dangerous diseases. Scientists have found that matcha contains 100 times more epigallocatechin (EGC) than any other tea. EGC is the most powerful antioxidant of the four main tea catechins, 25-100 times stronger than vitamins C and E. In matcha, 60% of catechins are EGC itself. Of all antioxidants, it is widely known for its anti-cancer properties.

2. Soothes

For more than a millennium, matcha green tea has been used by Chinese Taoists and Japanese Zen Buddhist monks as a relaxing aid to meditate – and stay “alert”. We now know that this heightened state of consciousness is due to the amino acid L-Theanine found in the leaf. L-Theanine stimulates the production of alpha waves in the brain, which cause relaxation without drowsiness.

3. Improves memory and concentration

Another effect of L-theanine is the production of dopamine and serotonin. These substances raise the mood, contribute to the improvement of memory and concentration of attention.

4. Increases the level of energy and endurance

While green tea invigorates us with the caffeine it contains, matcha gives us a boost of energy thanks to the same L-theanine. The energetic effect of a cup of matcha can last up to six hours, while it is not accompanied by nervousness and hypertension.

5. Burns calories

Matcha green tea boosts metabolism and helps the body burn fat about four times faster than normal. At the same time, matcha does not cause any side effects (increased heart rate, high blood pressure, etc.).

6. Cleanses the body

During the last three weeks, before the tea leaves are harvested, the Chinese camellias are covered from sunlight. This leads to a significant increase in chlorophyll, which not only gives the drink a beautiful bright green color, but is also a powerful detoxifier capable of naturally removing heavy metals and chemical toxins from the body.

7. Strengthens the immune system

The catechins in matcha green tea have antibiotic properties that support overall health. In addition, just one cup of matcha provides significant amounts of potassium, vitamins A and C, iron, protein and calcium.

8. Normalizes cholesterol levels

Scientists are not entirely sure how exactly matcha normalizes cholesterol levels. However, studies show that people who drink matcha regularly have lower levels of bad cholesterol and higher levels of good cholesterol. Men who drink matcha green tea are 11% less likely to develop heart disease compared to those who do not drink it.

9. Has an amazing taste

Matcha is not only useful, but also unusually tasty. Unlike many other teas, to which we often want to add sugar, milk, honey or lemon, matcha is great on its own. So brew a cup of matcha, sit back, relax - and enjoy the wonderful taste and benefits of this jade drink.

Security

Matcha is safe for most adults and children when taken properly. Matcha green tea can cause side effects such as upset stomach and constipation.

Dosage

Depending on your preferences, matcha tea is brewed in two ways: Koita (strong) and Utup (weak).

The difference is only in the dosage. For a serving of strong tea, you need 5 grams of tea per 80 ml of water. For weak tea - 2 grams of tea per 50 ml.
