What is Matcha? Matcha is the stone-ground powder of young whole green tea leaves. Three weeks before harvest, farmers choose the highest-quality green tea leaves and shade them for slower growth. This shading boosts the chlorophyll, giving it a more intense green color than other green teas. It's also the process that causes more theanine to grow, an amino acid that causes relaxation without feeling sleepy. Matcha contains high levels of the antioxidant called catechins (including EGCG), which have been shown to have an effect on preventing diseases, stimulating metabolism and fat burning, helping with immunity, and reducing skin inflammation, among many other properties. In short, since you consume the whole leaf, matcha is a superfood.
One serving contains about 70 mg of caffeine without the jitters.
