The tea plants are grown in the shade for a period of time to develop extra chlorophyll, before the tea leaves are harvested and ground into a fine powder. We mix this powder directly into water, unlike regular green tea, where the leaves are steeped in water. Therefore, we consume the whole tea leaf. This gives a concentrated drink with a full flavor, a natural sweetness and a balanced bitterness with umami.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Natural benefits of matcha\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e High caffeine content – ​​about 60 mg per cup (for comparison, coffee has around 80 mg)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Caffeine can support concentration and mental performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e L-Theanine can contribute to calmness, focus and relaxation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e May increase metabolism and support fat burning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Extra high content of antioxidants compared to other types of tea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The combination of caffeine and L-Theanine provides long-lasting energy without the sudden peaks and crashes you often get from coffee.
