Celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Mara, Jessica Alba and Ashley Olsen have made it fashionable on social media. Its intense vegetal flavor, vibrant green color and many health benefits have made matcha the new king of the healthy world. Haven't you tried the trendy Japanese tea yet?
Matcha is a high-quality tea obtained from green tea leaves that are shade-grown and artisanally ground. The result is a fine powder with multiple health benefits. Since the whole leaf is consumed, its properties are superior to other teas. This popular Japanese drink is a true health bomb. To begin with, it helps us lose weight, as it boosts the use of more energy and regulates our appetite. Nutritionally, one glass of matcha is equivalent to 10 glasses of regular green tea, while in terms of antioxidants, one glass of matcha is equivalent to 137 glasses of regular green tea. It contains catechins (anticarcinogenic), chlorophyll (a great blood purifier), fiber, minerals and vitamins B2, C, D, E and K. It also contains L-theanine, a compound that gives us energy, awakens our mind and at the same time helps us relax.
Another great advantage of this green powder is its versatility in the kitchen: we can have it with just water, with milk, in a smoothie, in ice cream, in cakes, pastries, cocktails and even in creams and soups. It is not a product we can find in a supermarket (at least at the moment) and its price depends on the quality of the plantation it comes from and its artisanal process. Do you want to try it? You can get it in the "Shop" section of our website greenergymatcha.com/ and also in the main health food stores in Buenos Aires.
