Matcha green tea is a finely-milled green tea that has been used for the Japanese tea ceremony for centuries. It is made from shade-grown tea leaves and has incredible health benefits! It is loaded with nutrients and antioxidants, can lower cholesterol levels and boost metabolism if drank regulary. Pound-for-pound matcha green tea contains more antioxidants than blueberries, pomegranates, orange juice and spinach! One cup of matcha is the equivalent of 10 cups of green tea.
