If you are someone who always lives and eats healthily, then a tin of matcha powder is a must-have in your kitchen cupboard. Although you pay a little more for good matcha than for regular herbal tea or green tea, it offers an impressive list of health benefits!

One against ten

This is mainly because matcha is packed with antioxidants. And since matcha tea is not an infusion of leaves, but is made from the pure leaves of the Camelia Sinensis (or tea plant), none of its beneficial properties are lost during preparation and consumption. So it's super healthy! In terms of nutritional value, one cup of matcha is equivalent to ten cups of green tea!

Protect your cells

Matcha tea contains three types of antioxidants: tannins, polyphenols and catechins. These help protect your body, and especially your cells, against free radicals. These are substances in your body that have a kind of “fault” in their structure and want to pass this fault on to the cells around them. As more and more healthy cells are damaged by these free radicals, their ability to defend themselves against bacteria and viruses decreases and you become ill more quickly. Antioxidants therefore play an important role in your immune system and increase your resistance.

Let's detox

In addition to antioxidants, matcha also contains chlorophyll. This is another excellent way to help your body cleanse and remove harmful substances. Matcha is therefore considered an excellent detoxifier.

Full of energy

Matcha contains a small amount of caffeine; just enough to stimulate your circulation and give you an energetic feeling, but so little that you will not suffer from palpitations or nervousness. It also helps you maintain your concentration, making matcha a useful aid when studying or during a long meeting.
