If you have yet to try matcha, you’re missing out. And if you’re already a big green tea drinker and still haven’t poured yourself a cup of matcha, then you’rereallymissing out. We’re here to break down the antioxidant-rich beverage.
How To Use Matcha
First things first, let’s explain what matcha is. Matcha is an antioxidant-rich powder of finely-ground green tea leaves. It containsL-theanine, an amino acid that provides an “alert calm” in matcha drinkers, rather than a “jolt,” which is a side effect of other morning beverages. Matcha is naturally caffeinated, but because of its addition of L-theanine, matcha drinkers don’t experience a “crash” hours after drinking it.
