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 Camellia sinensis
(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.
