The Benefits of Matcha Green Tea
Are you feeling a slump from your morning cappuccino or flat white? Are you hitting a wall around 1pm or 2pm? It might be time to swap your morning hit of coffee for a speciality latte made with green matcha tea!
Jammed packed with antioxidants this green powder is a true superfood!
Although we’re definitely coffee lovers here at Nurcha, we think giving our bodies a break from such a strong caffeine source every now and then can be really beneficial.
While one serving of matcha has much less caffeine than coffee, it provides a less jittery, more sustained energy boost – with no crash at the end. L-Theanine also improves focus and helps you concentrate.
Here are a few reasons that might encourage you to make the switch (Matcha Source)
- One serving of matcha tea is the nutritional equivalent of 10 cups of regularly brewed green tea
- When you drink matcha you ingest the entire leaf and receive 100% of the nutrients of the leaf
- Matcha powdered green tea has 137 times more antioxidants than regularly brewed green tea.
