The All-New
Healthy Old Tea
Japanese
matcha green tea, Hollywood’s latest health trend, is also an ancient wellness
aid
As new as it seems, the
consumption of matcha green tea – powdered green tea of the highest quality –
has been a wellness trend for over a millennium. Matcha green tea from Japan is
made from the nutrient-rich new leaves on the tips of shade-grown
Camelliasinensis (tea shrub). Once picked, these leaves are steamed, stemmed
and de-veined before they are stoneground into fine powder. This is stored away
from oxygen and light in order to preserve its bright green colour and
antioxidant properties.
HERE IS
WHAT IT DOES
Boosts metabolism and
aids weight loss: Matcha green tea helps the body burn fat about four times
faster than other metabolism aids. Detoxifies the body and stores antioxidants:
It helps remove heavy metals and chemical toxins, and also fights against the negative
effects of free radicals, giving us younger-looking skin.
Relaxes
the mind:
This effect is due to the
amino acid L-Theanine in the leaves, which encourages the production of alpha
waves in the brain that induce relaxation without drowsiness. This makes it
especially good for people who are studying for exams and those who must pull
all-nighters at work.
Increases
endurance:
All green tea contains caffeine, but matcha
green tea provides energy that lasts up to six hours from its unique combination
of nutrients. There are no side effects.
Boosts
immunity:
Just one cup of tea
provides substantial quantities of potassium, Vitamins A and C, iron, protein
and calcium to boost immunity.
Regulates
cholesterol:
Drink it regularly for
lower levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol and higher levels of HDL (good)
cholesterol.
