Matcha and Beyond only uses young ceremonial tea leaves from organic tea gardens in Kagoshima, in Southwest Japan.
Matcha is the result of a meticulous process which starts with manually extracting only the most tender, highly prized parts of the leaves grown on trees in the shade. These leaves are then steamed, airdried, de-stemmed, de-veined and finally, stone-ground into a fine powder. By drinking Matcha and Beyond's matcha, you will appreciate the careful work of these artisan farmers.
About Matcha
Matcha is a healthy coffee alternative, providing a balanced caffeine intake and a high dose of antioxidants among many other health benefits. We source our matcha from organic tea gardens in Japan.
Matcha is a suspension tea, the powder won't dissolve when added to water. Matcha needs to be whisked with hot water (80c) in a back and forth motion for 15 seconds.
Matcha contains a concentrated amount of antioxidants, which may reduce cell damage and prevent chronic disease. As matcha tea is literally grounded tea leaves it contains all the nutrients from the entire leaf and will tend to have more catechins and antioxidants than steeping green tea leaves in water.
Matcha has been shown to improve attention and memory. It also contains caffeine and L-theanine, which can improve some aspects of brain function. Paired with caffeine, L-theanine can help improve cognitive function and increase focus and alertness. Having a matcha in the morning is perfect when you need your concentration to be at its maximum.
The liver is vital to health and plays a central role in flushing out toxins, and processing nutrients. Matcha is packed with chlorophyll, which cleanses the blood stream, removes heavy metals and other toxins in the body, liberating its capacity to repair, regenerate and rebuild. Several studies show that green tea extract (matcha) helps increase metabolism and fat burning, both of which may aid weight loss.
Because of the amino acid L-theanine found in matcha the caffeine is released at a slower and sustainable pace through the day. Matcha contains approximatively 70mg of caffeine per cup, green tea approximatively 35mg and a cup of coffee contains about 95mg. By drinking Matcha you will get the caffeine boost without the jitters: Pure clean energy for over 3 to 6 hours.
As the content of antioxidants in Matcha is so high, it helps protect the skin by fighting free radicals, enhancing brightness and promoting a healthy complexion, also known as the matcha glow! Matcha also contains high levels of EGCG which has according to several studies, incredible effects on the skin hydration, on reducing the wrinkle formation and improving the rejuvenation of skin cells. Drinking matcha regularly may also help reducing inflammation of the skin and acne as well as increasing skin elasticity.
A Research shows that consuming matcha can significantly reduce LDL cholesterol. LDL also known as bad cholesterol raises the chances of strokes and heart attacks. When combined with a well-rounded diet and a healthy lifestyle, drinking matcha may help keep your heart healthy and protect against disease.
