What is Matcha?

As a centuries-old tradition, Japanese Zen Buddhist monks use Matcha in their monasteries. The monks prepare, serve, and consume Matcha as hot tea, as an integral part of their meditation ceremonies. Matcha gives them a sense of awakeness and calm spirituality.

Science now proves that this calm and focused effect that Matcha gives the mind has merit. Matcha has caffeine at 70 mg per cup, just like coffee, but it disperses energy differently.

Matcha caffeine releases slowly in your system, so it doesn't give you nervous energy that coffee and hyper-caffeinated energy drinks give. The consistent release of caffeine by Matcha gives your mind a longer-lasting and pleasant awakeness that lasts 4 to 6 hours, which is excellent for meditation!

Helping matcha caffeine is a vital amino acid called L-Theanine. This compound helps your body regulate your stress hormones and encourages the feel-good ones: oxytocin, dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins. The L-Theanine in Matcha gives you a sense of peaceful alertness that improves your focus and attention.

These meditation-conducive benefits of Matcha have benefitted the Japanese Zen Monks since the 12 century and until now. And, you can also have the same wellbeing with a more beverage-ready form of Matcha.

How Cafe-grade Matcha is made

Matcha originates from the same tea plant that green tea leaves come from - the Camellia sinensis plant.

Green tea production requires harvesting and drying sun-grown tea leaves and preparing them on teabags as a final product.

Camellia sinensis plants that are for matcha production, however, are grown in the shade.

Shade-growing increases the levels of caffeine, antioxidants, and amino acids in the tea leaves, giving them a more profound taste and hue. The leaves are stone-ground to a fine powder. The result is what we call Matcha and the finest and greenest powder grades top quality and sells as ceremonial-grade. Cafe grade matcha ranks third in grading but is more practical when using blenders and juicers.

In Yodha Matcha, we provide you with ceremonial-grade green tea powder and this cafe-grade barista edition powder.

Matcha is good for your health.

Because of the unique way that matcha is produced, its nutrients are multiplied. It has excellent amounts of EGCG or Epigallocatechin gallate, L-Theanine, caffeine, vitamins, and minerals.

It contains vital nutrients like vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, C, E, K, and more. Two of these are vital to the mitigation of heart disease.

Vitamins C and E help in stopping free radicals from clogging arteries and causing high blood pressure.

The powder also contains potassium, magnesium, calcium, zinc, phosphorus, and iron which are vital minerals for the body.

Magnesium and potassium have been found to play a part in mitigating cardiovascular diseases.

The tea is also excellent for mental health. L-Theanine uplifts the mood and reduces stress and anxiety.

Matcha encourages a healthy lifestyle that is active and clean. When combined with proper diet and consistent workout, you will be able to avoid most diseases and you will live a longer life.
