Matcha has become almost indispensable. The green drink is slowly conquering the Netherlands. And with good reason! In addition to making the well-known tea, you can also use it to bake cakes or biscuits, for example. And because it is full of antioxidants, we can truly call this green powder a superfood. But what exactly does it do for you?

Matcha is ultimately a variation on green tea. Not as we are used to it, because instead of the well-known tea leaves, matcha tea is made from green powder. And where the tea plant from which we make green or black tea is always in the sun, the tea plant for matcha is placed in the shade three weeks before harvesting. During this time, various healthy nutrients are produced in the plant, which is where matcha derives some of its health benefits.

What are the benefits?

There are several benefits to drinking matcha tea. For example, it contains ten times more antioxidants than regular green tea, which helps your body detoxify. This is because, unlike with tea, you ultimately drink the leaves of the tea plant, as you mix the powder with water or milk. This contributes to a healthy body and better skin and gives your immune system a significant boost. It also lowers cholesterol, which helps prevent cardiovascular disease.

And did you know that it also balances your blood sugar levels, improving your metabolism and helping you burn more calories? This makes it a good addition if you are trying to lose weight or regulate your weight.

But besides making you feel better physically, it also gives you more energy. Although matcha contains less caffeine than coffee (about 25% less), together with L-theanine it provides a calm and long-lasting energy flow. This makes you mentally clearer and improves your learning performance.

Do you often experience stress? Then drinking matcha is definitely a good idea. It has a calming effect, which can help with stress and anxiety attacks, for example. So a cup of matcha also helps you relax!
