Matcha Green Tea Health Benefits:

• Rich in Antioxidants: Antioxidants slow down the aging process and help the body to fend off diseases.  Matcha tea is actually higher in antioxidants than blueberries and spinach. Somebody had better tell Popeye! A testing method known as ORAC – short for oxygen radical absorbance capacity, evaluates the antioxidant levels found in food. According to research done by Tufts University, the ORAC capacity of matcha green tea is exponentially higher than other foods known for their high antioxidants levels such as blueberries and spinach.The ORAC rating of matcha is 1300 units/g, compared to 105 units/g for pomegranates and 91 units/g for wild blueberries.  If that’s not worth a WOW! – nothing is.
• Contains Catechins Only Found in Green Tea: Catechins are a class of antioxidants that are found only in green tea.  What’s more, this class may be the most powerful of all antioxidants.  And of the catechins,  EGCg (epicgallocatechin gallate) is the catechin with broadest and most potent cancer-fighting properties.  Sixty percent of the catechin content of matcha tea is EGCg.  One gram of matcha contains 105 mg of total catechin content, or roughly 61% EGCg.
• Naturally Mood Enhancing: I’m not sure what the properties or explanations are, but Green Tea simply makes you feel good, and since Matcha Green Tea is green tea on hyper drive, it makes you feel all kinds of good.
• Zero on the Glycemic Index:  Will not raise insulin levels
• Cleanses the Body of Toxins: Chlorophyll, the pigment which gives leaves their green color, helps to remove heavy metals and chemical toxins from the body. Because matcha powdered tea is fully ingested when consumed, unlike tea leaves which are infused then discarded, and because matcha is shade grown, a process which increases the chlorophyll content in the leaves, matcha tea is a chlorophyll rich food.
• Sugar-free and  High in Fiber: It also gives you more energy – which leads to more activity.   Green Tea is a dieter’s best friend!
• Helps you relax: Matcha contains L-theanine, an amino acid known to relax the mind.
