The Matcha is a type of powdered japanese green tea that is known for its vibrant green color and unique flavor. It is made from shade-grown tea leaves and is ground into a fine powder. Matcha has gained popularity not only for its taste but also for its potential health benefits. Here are some of the properties and potential health benefits associated with matcha:

Rich in Antioxidants: Matcha is high in catechins, which are a type of antioxidant. Antioxidants help neutralize free radicals in the body, which can contribute to various chronic diseases and aging.

Boosts Metabolism: Some studies suggest that the catechins in matcha, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), may help boost metabolism and promote fat oxidation, which could aid in weight management.

Enhances Concentration and Alertness: Matcha contains a moderate amount of caffeine, along with the amino acid L-theanine. This combination is believed to provide a calm, focused energy without the jitters often associated with other sources of caffeine.

Supports Heart Health: Research indicates that regular consumption of green tea, including matcha, may be associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular diseases. It may help reduce levels of LDL cholesterol and triglycerides.

Rich in Nutrients: Matcha is a source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamins A, C, and E, as well as potassium, calcium, and iron.

May Have Anti-Cancer Properties: Some studies suggest that the antioxidants in matcha, particularly EGCG, may have potential anti-cancer properties by preventing the growth of cancer cells and inhibiting the spread of tumors.

Supports Detoxification: The chlorophyll content in matcha is believed to support detoxification by helping to eliminate heavy metals and toxins from the body.

Promotes Relaxation: L-theanine, an amino acid found in matcha, has calming effects and may promote relaxation and reduce stress.

PREPARATION:

Add 1 scoop of “coffee” or 2 tablespoons of “chashaku” to 200ml of hot water.
The water to prepare this tea should not be boiling, otherwise, the tea will be bitter.
Allow the water to cool to 75° before adding the matcha.
Stir vigorously until all the tea has dissolved.
To avoid the formation of small lumps you should move your matcha with a fork or use the chasen - bambo whisk for matcha tea.

Matcha tea should be consumed soon after preparation to avoid bitterness.

In slimming regimens, you should drink 1 cup of fasting and a cup 30 minutes before lunch and dinner.

Curiosities: Preparation of the Matcha Japanese Green Tea harvest begins once a year, 20 days before harvesting, in the high Japanese mountains. By this time, the leaves intended for the preparation of the “green jewel” are protected from direct sunlight, thus slowing their growth and increasing levels of chlorophyll and essential amino acids. For the production of this authentic preciousness, the best parts of each plant are chosen manually.
