Tea is most likely the healthiest beverage out there. It has been used for ages and it never ceases to amaze with its effects. Green tea is the star, due to its amazing properties. However, I recently discovered something even better.
Why is drinking green tea good for you?
Green tea brings endless advantages. Here are the main ones:
-
It prevents diseases such as cancer.
There is a compound found in green tea (polyphenol EGCG) that makes it provide an incredible amount of antioxidants. This stimulates the immune system and inhibits the development of cancer cells.
-
It fights premature aging.
The antioxidants slow down the aging process and prevent us from looking older ahead of time (been drinking buckets of it lately!)
-
It destroys viruses that affect the respiratory system.
Green tea contains catechins which have antiviral properties that fight against flus, colds and other issues related to the respiratory system (start drinking now to get ready for winter)
-
It has anti-inflammatory properties.
It has positive effects on rheumatoid inflammation such as arthritis.
-
It lowers the cholesterol level and the blood sugar.
-
It balances the pH and blood pressure.
OMG Matcha Tea is a delicious Matcha green tea that reminds you of the specific flavour of green tea, yet it takes things to a whole new level in terms of taste. It has a fresh and pure flavour that works like a charm whenever you want to take a break. Coffee is so last year!
Unlike many other tea varieties, it has a pleasant smell and I also like the fact that it's organic. With other products, you never know what you might end up ingesting and that is so important to me, because you are what you eat , but also you are what you drink too!
Benefits of OMG Matcha Tea
-
It is a natural detoxifier.
While I never tried one of those complete detox programs, I am interested in detoxifying my body. I strongly think that drinking the OMG Matcha Tea is detoxifying enough without being harsh on my body.
-
It is highly energizing.
I don't drink energy drinks because they are not healthy. Also, I avoid coffee because I don't really like it and it makes my heart race. But sometimes you can get tired and the OMG Matcha Tea is pure energy. It kicks in mildly, so you don't suddenly feel extremely energetic. But it's enough to keep you more active and focused throughout the day. Regular green tea didn’t have any effect so this Matcha tea is a great improvement.
-
It boosts the metabolism and helps to burn calories.
It is great if you're on a diet and you are trying to lose weight. I noticed that it controls the cravings and the emotional eating as well. I love making my matcha cuppa with either almond, coconut or rice milk. Pure deliciousness .
-
It's full of antioxidants.
I used to be a huge green tea fan due to the antioxidant content. But the OMG Matcha Tea contains a mind-blowing quantity of antioxidants that's 137 times more than the one found in green tea. This is what got my attention in the first place. I'm a huge fan of this!
-
It doesn't come with any side effects.
The OMG Matcha Tea doesn't leave you feel any nausea or dizziness, as it might happen with other teas. I have a sensitive stomach but this tea is comforting and doesn't upset the stomach even if you drink 3-4 cups a day. This is a great advantage because you don't want to spend money on something that will only make matters worse.
What is the difference between normal green tea and Matcha green tea?
Though both types of tea bring amazing benefits, there are some significant distinctions between them. Matcha green tea is cultivated and processed differently. It is green tea that has been grown specially and went through a variety of other processing and farming techniques. It is fine green tea powder made of the whole leaf.
When drinking Matcha green tea, you have the chance to take full advantage of all the antioxidants and nutrients contained in the leaf of Camellia Sinensis. The caffeine content is also higher. Compared to regular green tea, Matcha doesn't undergo oxidation during the processing stage.
Now quick recipe for a cup of frothy health aka OMG Matcha Latte.
Here's the OMG Matcha Latte recipe
Recipe
OMG Matcha Latte
Forget about coffee, now is time to discover Matcha Latte. Take advantage of all the antioxidants and nutrients contained in the leaf of Camellia Sinensis!

- The best way to make matcha green tea latte is to make the tea first, then add the hot milk.
- Put 1 teaspoon of OMG matcha in a cup and add a few drops of hot water and keep stirring until matcha becomes a smooth paste.
- Pour in 1 cup of hot steamy milk (not boiling though) and scoop foamy milk on top.
