WHAT IS MATCHA?
Matcha has been part of Eastern culture since as early as the 12th century. Chinese Monks enjoyed matcha to sustain hours of mediation and Japanese Samurai warriors drank matcha to energise before battle.
Its powdered form is the result of shade-grown green tea leaves which are deveined and finely ground. Its unmistakable green colour comes from the high chlorophyll content the leaves earn from their shaded location and enhances its concentration of nutrients.
WHY MATCHA?
MATCHA VS COFFEE
Energy
Caffeine by itself can be tricky. Matcha, unlike coffee and other energy drinks, contains caffeine and L-Theanine. The amino acid combines with caffeine and slows down its release into the body. This promotes increased levels of focus and sustained energy for longer periods of time.
Matcha: Calm energy for 4-6 hours.
Coffee: Quick energy for 1-2 hours including the jitters and crash.
Mood
L-Theanine helps to relax alpha waves in the brain (linked to feeling happy and alert) and increases dopamine production. Both are considered "happiness" chemicals.
Matcha: Clear focus and concentration, calm alertness, relaxed and in a good mood!
Coffee: Anxious and hyperactive.
Health
Matcha: Powerful antioxidants promote brain, heart and gut health resulting in oral hygiene and improved digestion.
Coffee: Coffee is highly acidic with few antioxidants. High acidity can lead to stained teeth, bad breath and an upset stomach.
