Although the green colored drink is super trendy now, you may be wondering; what are the benefits of this drink, anyways? Well, it's actually been around for ages in Japan and Asia. This particular kind of tea is full of antioxidants. Matcha also has naturally occurring L-Theanine when harvested properly with care, since they dry the leaves in the shade, which boosts this calming compound in them. This also boosts chlorophyll, which gives high quality grade matcha, like ours, its signature, gorgeous, dark green color! The next time you walk into a coffee shop and order matcha, pay attention to the hue- if it isn't a dark, vibrant green, then it's most likely cheap, poorly made matcha powder. It's important to distinguish between the higher quality products and the cheap ones, because it's essential to know what you put into your body so you can balance good health and all your daily activities! Another thing; matcha does contain natural caffeine, so it's best to skip it during the evening. You just might stay up all night, wondering if your beautiful, instagram-worthy drink did you dirty!
