We're all aware of the health benefits of standard green tea – it reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer, and even acts as a natural mood enhancer. Now imagine all of these health benefits, amplified! With Matcha you ingest the whole tea leaf, as opposed to the brewed water, which means it delivers everything that green tea delivers – but with a much higher potency. In fact, researchers from The University of Colorado recently discovered that Matcha has a higher concentration of the antioxidant EGCG (a potent cancer-fighting catechin) of up to 137 times that found in standard, commercially available green tea.
