Learn all the fun details about the chlorophyll and antioxidants we mention whenever we talk about Matcha. Chlorophyll is what makes green tea green, but it is also a great detoxifier and will help you eliminate chemicals from your body. L-theanine is a powerful antioxidant that promotes calm and reduces stress.
Matcha is the food with the highest concentration of EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) in the world.
The main reason Matcha tea is superior to traditional green tea in terms of health benefits is that those who drink Matcha consume the whole leaf rather than an infusion in water. One glass of Matcha green tea equals 10 glasses of regular tea in terms of nutrients.
According to scientific research, one serving of Matcha contains 137 times more of the antioxidant Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) than an infusion of regular green tea (Weiss & Anderton, Determination of catechins in matcha green tea by micellar electrokinetic chromatography, 2003. Colorado Springs: Department of Chemistry, University of Colorado).
Natural energy boost.
One of the key components in Matcha is the amino acid L-theanine, which is found almost exclusively in Matcha. When L-theanine is combined with the natural caffeine in the tea, it is metabolized more slowly, releasing the caffeine over a longer period of time and providing a steady energy boost of three to six hours (compared to coffee caffeine's one to one and a half hours).
