Matcha Mania: Why This Green Tea Is More Popular Than Ever

Matcha is a type of powdered green tea that originates from Japan. It is made from specially grown and processed Camellia sinensis tea leaves, which are shaded before harvest to enhance their chlorophyll content and amino acids, giving matcha its vibrant green color and rich, umami flavor.

Key Features of Matcha:

✔ High in Antioxidants – Contains catechins, which help fight free radicals.
✔ Boosts Energy and Focus – Naturally rich in caffeine and L-theanine, promoting alertness without the jitters.
✔ Supports Metabolism – Some studies suggest matcha can aid in fat burning.
✔ Used in Drinks and Food – Commonly consumed as a tea, latte, or added to smoothies, desserts, and baked goods.

Matcha is an essential part of Japanese tea ceremonies and has gained popularity worldwide for its health benefits and versatility.
