Eat clean and drink Matcha tea

I am sure by now you have all heard of matcha tea? Matcha is the highest quality green tea. It has been popular in Asia for over a millennium and now it is finally gettting the mainstream attention and love that it deserves. Matcha is made out of young nutrient-rich leaves, which are transformed into a very fine powder.

Let me tell you about the main benefits of matcha:

• It tastes great.

Drinking a certain drink/beverage just because it is healthy can feel uncomfortable, just like taking medicines. Unlike other teas that require milk, lemon or sugar to have a reasonable taste, matcha is very pleasant right from the start. Its harmony of vegetal and floral notes is nicely complemented by the enjoyable flavour of l-theanine, an amino acid that gives it a unique and wonderful taste.

• It strengthens the immune system, which strengthens you

It contains highly powerful antioxidants called catechins. They have significant antibiotic properties that can even fight against cancer. Also, matcha contains important amounts of vitamins such as A and C, iron, potassium, calcium and proteins.

• It helps you burn calories and it supports healthy weight loss

Matcha improves the metabolism and helps the body to burn up to four times more fat than usually. It stands out amongst other weight loss teas because it doesn't come with any side effects.

• It helps you relax

Japanese monks used matcha tea for ages to relax and meditate while keeping their mind active. L-theanine promotes the production of alpha brain waves, which are associated with deep relaxation. This psychoactive compound also stimulates serotonin and dopamine, hormones that improve the memory and help you focus better. So you can relax without feeling dizzy or experiencing brain fog. Just mix it with some unsweetened almond milk and enjoy!

• It is highly energizing

The samurais used to drink green tea before fighting due to its energizing properties. Matcha's special mix of stimulants increases your energy without giving you the jitters you feel after drinking coffee. Good bye coffee, hello Matcha!

• It has anti-aging properties

Thanks to the fact that it brings along nearly 140 times more antioxidants than regular green tea, matcha is by far the best source of antioxidants one could ever find. They fight against the negative effects of UV rays and cellular damage, offering you and me a youthful-looking skin for a prolonged period of time. In this way, you can avoid premature aging and its devastating effects on your appearance. I honestly can say my skin has never looked better.

Unusual facts about matcha: 

- It fights against bad breath and body odours due to the increased levels of chlorophyll.

- It can be used as an ingredient in various dishes. You can easily prepare smoothies, soups and even puddings, ice cream or brownies.

- In Japan, Matcha is regarded as being a very thoughtful gift for a special person, so maybe add it to your birthday wish list?

Are all types of matcha the same?

The answer is no. As a matter of fact, there are important differences in quality for the available products. The best quality matcha is bright green and has a very fresh taste. Low quality matcha has less nutritional value as it often features inferior powder. It can easily be spotted due to the poor flavour, weird smell and the muddy dull green colour.

Now go and make your own cup of matcha 🙂
