Matcha Green Tea has been traditionally used for medicinal uses going back 5000 years in China. A natural stimulant, green tea leaves contain low levels of caffeine but in combination with L-Theanine, a water-soluble amino acid that neutralizes the speedy ‘rise and crash’ effect typical of caffeine. Green tea invigorates without draining your energy.

Interesting Facts
Matcha green tea provides long lasting energy but the presence of a rare amino acid L-Theanine, combined with caffeine takes away the edge of caffeine consumed alone. These amino crosses the blood brain barrier to exercise a direct influence on the brain helping to combat stress, improve memory, alertness and attention.
Antioxidants, most notably ECGC’s, in green tea leaves help us to burn fat, improve cholesterol levels and reduce oxidative stress in the brain.
Matcha Tea was introduced to Japan about 600 AD by priests who had gone to China to study Buddhism.
