The combination of caffeine with l-theanine in matcha green tea provides a stable and extended boost of energy without the anxious jitters or side effects like you might have previously experienced with coffee and energy drinks. The caffeine will gently pick you up, provide you with an extended energy boost and then will let you softly back down to earth.

Matcha green tea Fortifies the immune system and limits the invasion and growth of viruses and bacteria in the body. The special catechin antioxidant called EGCg is effective in fighting and protecting the body against various bacterial and viral infections* (21). EGCg binds to cells in the body and inhibits the growth of many disease-causing microorganisms including influenza A virus, Hepatitis Virus, Herpes Virus, and the bacteria that causes Strep Throat.

Want to go the extra mile? Try adding matcha to your weight loss program and see what happens. EGCg and caffeine work together to naturally boost your metabolism and increase the number of calories you burn on a daily basis. Matcha green tea utilizes fat as an energy source. Green tea catechins activate the body’s thermogenic fat burning activity.

One study looked at how people performed on a series of tasks designed to measure brain performance. Some participants consumed either matcha tea or a bar containing 4 grams of matcha, while the control group consumed a placebo tea or bar. The participants performed a set of cognitive tests assessing attention, information processing, working memory, and episodic memory. The researchers found that matcha caused improvements in attention, reaction time and memory, compared to the placebo*.

Stay calm for this: Matcha green tea can help protect you from a heart attack or stroke* – and matcha green tea powder may be much more effective than steeped green tea when it comes to heart health (20). Introducing matcha green tea into your regular diet may significantly lower your risk of having a stroke or heart attack.
