MATCHA CONTAINS HIGH AMOUNTS OF DISEASE-FIGHTING ANTIOXIDANTS.

Matcha, which is just powdered green tea leaves, contains high amounts of
molecules that are most responsible for tea’s many proven health
benefits, including a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, and
various neurodegenerative conditions.

1 MATCHA CAN ENHANCE YOUR MENTAL CLARITY. Matcha is particularly rich in one
molecule in particular—epigallocatechin gallate, or EGCG—that is
most associated with green tea’s weight loss benefits.

2.THE EGCG IN MATCHA MAY HELP YOU LOSE WEIGHT. Matcha contains an amino acid
known as theanine, which has been shown to improve alertness, focus, attention, memory, and mood.
