People are drinking Matcha Tea in droves. They are calling it the NEW COFFEE in town!
Matcha Tea - More Antioxidants and Nutrients Than Green Tea - by Eugenia Martini-Jarrett
Matcha is a type of green tea that is created from the entire tea leaf, then made into a powder. To create the tea, the powder is whisked into a powerful beverage.
Cafes throughout New York, San Francisco, Boston, and more are amazed by the demand for this Far East ritual tea. What better combination than energy and nutrition! Several cafes also offer matcha shots, which has become extremely popular with the model and executive crowds.
Matcha dates back to 1191 when a Japanese Buddhist monk brought tea seeds to China and helped develop the idea of drinking tea for good health. Beyond enjoying matcha for its nutritional benefits, the monks also find it extremely beneficial as a relaxant to use with their meditative practice. The recipe calls for grounding and sifting matcha before whisking the powder in water.
Matcha tea is historically known for its health benefits. Its powerful nutritional values are attributed to the use of the entire leaf, not just the water that is infused with the leaves. Matcha is laden with nutrients, antioxidants, fiber, and chlorophyll.
Important: One glass of matcha is the equivalent of 10 glasses of green tea in terms of nutritional value and antioxidant content.
Matcha also contains L-theanine, an amino acid known to relax the mind. For this reason, matcha is also known as a mood enhancer. Buddhist monks drank matcha to assist in meditation, as matcha’s amino acids, combined with caffeine, offer sustained calm alertness over time.
