ABOUT THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF MATCHA

Do health benefits of matcha differ when you drink it hot versus cold?You are still ingesting the entire tea leaves whether you prepare the matcha hot or cold, therefore, there would not be a difference when it comes to health benefits it offers. However, physiologically people absorb foods and beverages differently.
Does a higher grade matcha offer more health benefits than a lower grade matcha?Grades in matcha refer to its colour, aroma and taste. It does not refer to its nutrition content. The best way to compare the content is to make sure matcha products you are interested in have their nutrition content listed. You can then compare the amount of theanine, caffeine, catechins among them. Make sure no fillers like rice or milk solids are added. Authentic matcha should just be 100% tencha green tea powder.
What exactly is L-theanine?L-theanine is an amino acid that is found in green tea. It helps induce alpha-frequency brain wave which is a state of wakeful calmness.
What are the health benefits of drinking matcha?Matcha has many health benefits and is widely known as the tea packed with antioxidants. Since you are actually ingesting the full tea leaves when drinking matcha you are then getting all of the nutrients from the leaves. Matcha is rich in vitamins, fiber and chlorophyll. It also has anti-inflammatory benefits from catechins, including EGCG. While I do not drink matcha for the health benefits, I do appreciate that matcha can also enhance your mood and calm your mind. With the unique theanine and caffeine combination in matcha, it provides a calm energy without jitter or crash. This ensures that your matcha tea maintains more of its essential nutrients and antioxidants that make it such a great choice for your overall health and wellness.
And there are a lot of benefits to regularly drinking matcha. Matcha is such an excellent substitute for coffee and other caffeinated drinks that it is even recommended for the nighttime routine. The effects of matcha can last as long as ten hours and you will find you do not have the same response to matcha that you do to coffee, which means no caffeine crashes, no headaches, and no stomachaches after that morning cup.
Not only is matcha great for energy and focus, but it has been shown to support the immune system, reduce the growth of germs in the mouth, and even provide heart help in the long and short term. Matcha is also a calming and relaxing type of tea, which can be beneficial for those with emotional wellness issues.
