Matcha means powdered green tea, It contains 135 times more antioxidants than a simple green tea. Unlike green tea, matcha tea leaves are shaded (before harvesting) and this change in sunlight raises the levels of chlorophyll (which is rich in nutrients). Once harvested, the leaves are steamed to stop fermentation that would reduce these elements. After drying, they are grounded with stones that gives us a bright green powder. Matcha tea has a strong taste, looks like grass or spinach and has relaxing and calming property. A cup of Matcha tea has the nutritional value of 10 of regular green tea, is rich in antioxidants, boosts metabolism and calorie burning.
