What is matcha? How is it different from green tea?
Matcha tea and green tea are both made from steamed tea leaves. The main differences lie in leaf selection standards and production processes. About six weeks before harvest, the tea plants used to make matcha are covered with special cloth to block sunlight and make the tea leaves darker.
When picking, only the tenderer, greener leaves at the top of the buds are picked. After harvesting, the tea leaves are steamed to maintain the color and nutrients of the tea leaves and prevent the tea leaves from producing enzymes; green tea has more fried crystals, and its production process is relatively fast, but it can easily damage the quality of the tea leaves.
The steamed matcha will be placed in bellows to dry and then sorted. The greener the tea leaves, the higher the grade. After sorting, the stems and buds must be removed, then refrigerated, and finally the leaves are ground into fine powder using a machine or stone mortar, and matcha powder is ready.

Benefits of Matcha Powder:
1. Antioxidant properties
Matcha is rich in catechins, a class of plant compounds in tea that act as natural antioxidants. It helps scavenge harmful free radicals that can damage cells and lead to chronic disease. Adding matcha to your diet can help prevent cell damage and even reduce the risk of many chronic diseases.
2. Protect liver
The liver is vital to health and plays a central role in expelling toxins, metabolizing drugs, and processing nutrients. Matcha powder may prevent liver damage and reduce the risk of liver disease.
3. Improve cognitive function
Some ingredients in matcha can help enhance brain function. In addition, matcha contains more concentrated caffeine than green tea, and matcha also contains a compound called L-theanine, which can modify the effects of caffeine, increasing alertness and helping to avoid the crash in energy levels associated with caffeine intake. . L-theanine has also been shown to increase alpha wave activity in the brain, which may help induce relaxation and reduce stress levels.
4. Prevent cancer
Matcha powder is rich in health-promoting compounds. Green tea extract reduces tumor size and slows breast cancer cell growth. Matcha is particularly high in epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a catechin that has been shown to have powerful anti-cancer properties.
5. Promote heart health
Matcha has been shown to lower levels of total cholesterol and "bad" LDL cholesterol, as well as triglycerides. It may also help prevent the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, another factor that may prevent heart disease.
6. Helps lose weight
Research shows that matcha helps speed up metabolism, increases energy expenditure and promotes fat burning.
