It is widely reported that green tea is a rich source of antioxidants [2]. These compounds play a major role in protecting cells and DNA from damage from reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as free radicals and superoxides [7]. Catechins, such as those found in Matcha, are reported to increase the total antioxidant activity in the plasma [8]. Matcha powder is a versatile ingredient. “Traditionally it can be brewed into tea, but it can also be added to smoothies, baked goods, ice creams, homemade popsicles and desserts.

Along with its modest amounts of naturally balanced caffeine, it contains a very special, natural amino acid called L-theanine that promotes that alpha wave activity in our brains that fosters a healthy mood and stress balance. Scientific data reveals that the antioxidant capacity of matcha significantly exceeds that of green tea and top superfoods like acai berry, dark chocolate, and goji berries.
