Why choose organic matcha tea?

Originally from Japan, matcha is a special type of green tea obtained by grinding whole tea leaves into a powder. Unlike other teas where the leaves are just steeped, when you consume matcha tea, you ingest all the nutritional value of the leaves themselves.

The wealth of antioxidants makes matcha tea special. These antioxidants help fight free radicals, protecting the skin, heart and body from oxidative stress. In particular, matcha is rich in catechins, a type of antioxidant known for its anti-cancer properties.

In addition to antioxidants, matcha tea is known for its soothing effect. L-theanine, an amino acid found in matcha, promotes alpha waves in the brain that promote relaxation and help improve concentration and focus.

How to consume matcha tea?

Matcha tea powder can be prepared by classically mixing hot water and powder with a bamboo brush. But its application does not end there. Matcha powder can be added to smoothies, cakes, ice cream or even in the preparation of various dishes. Its refreshing, slightly bitter taste makes it the perfect addition to many recipes.

Recommended use:

Add a level teaspoon - 3 to 5 grams to warm (70 degrees) or cold water, add milk. It can be added to lemonade, smoothies or poured over desserts and dishes. You can make cakes, ice cream, etc.

Interesting facts about matcha tea

• Ancient tradition: Matcha tea originated in China, but has become a key part of Japanese culture. It has been used for centuries in traditional Japanese tea ceremonies, known as "chanoyu" or "sado".
• Grows in the shade: Before harvesting, matcha teas are grown in the shade, which helps increase chlorophyll levels. This gives the tea an intense green color and increases its nutritional value.
• Brain: Matcha tea contains the amino acid L-theanine, which, when combined with the caffeine from the tea, helps improve cognitive abilities while reducing typical caffeine side effects like jitteriness.
• Superfood: Gram for gram, matcha tea contains more antioxidants than typical superfoods like blueberries and dark chocolate.
• Ritual preparation: The traditional preparation of matcha tea involves the step of stirring the powder and hot water with a bamboo brush. This ritual is not only for making tea, but also for meditation and presence of mind.
• It's not just for drinking: Although best known as a beverage, matcha powder is increasingly being used for culinary purposes, including ice cream, cakes, smoothies and even pasta.
• Economic value: Matcha tea is quite expensive due to the complex process of production and harvesting. Ground powder means you are consuming the whole tea leaf, which gives it a richer flavor and higher nutritional value.
• Different qualities: There are different grades of matcha tea, usually categorized as ceremonial (like this one), premium, and culinary. The ceremonial grade is the finest and is used mostly for drinking, while the culinary grade is often used in recipes.
• Energy alternative: Although it contains caffeine, matcha tea provides a gradual release of energy over several hours, unlike the quick high that coffee can provide.
• Connection with Zen Buddhism: Zen Buddhist monks often drink matcha tea to stay alert and focused during long hours of meditation.
