Amazing Benefits of Matcha

uji_Kyoto_matcha_benefits

In recent years, matcha has become increasingly popular not only because of its taste but because matcha also has benefits for health and beauty effect. Because matcha is 100% finely grounded green tea leaves into a fine powder, it has lots of nutrients from other teas.

In fact, the nutrients in one cup of matcha are equal to 10 cups of green tea.

Here are some benefits of consuming matcha.


Health Benefit 1 Packed with Antioxidants

healthy

Matcha is rich in catechins, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) — one of the plant compounds in tea that act as natural antioxidants.

The antioxidants may prevent damage that caused by free radicals, therefore consuming matcha tea could lower the risk of several chronic diseases for your body. A study strongly propose matcha tea as a natural compound that could help to overcome cancer cell resistance to chemoteraphy.


Matcha tea contains 137 times more antioxidants than green tea. That is because every one cup of matcha tea was made with 1 gram of green tea leaf powder containing 143 mg total catechins.


Health Benefit 2 Gives Relaxation Effect

relaxation

According to studies, the active amino acid (L-theanine) contained in matcha tea induces relaxation effect. L-theanine stimulates the alpha brain waves that could create deep mental relaxation.

This amino acid is responsible to give the umami flavor that becomes the characteristic flavor of tea.


Health Benefit 3 May Help You to Lose Weight

diet

A study shows that drinking 4 cups of matcha tea in 24 hours can enhance fat oxidation by 18% during brisk walking in healthy females. Every one cup is made with 1 gram of matcha tea powder.

This proves that 4 cups of matcha tea’s composition is sufficient on the metabolic responses during exercise (*but please note that there are individual differences for matcha's maximum consumption limit per day due to its caffeine content).

So consuming matcha to start your day might make your workouts and diets more effective.


Health Benefit 4 Gives You Energy

energy

Chlorophyll is a natural green pigment contained in all green parts of plants, including matcha tea.

As chlorophyll creates energy for the plant, they can provide energy to your body.

The energy does not get absorbed in the body but travels through digestive track instead. So it makes you fuller longer and prevent overeating.

Message from The Uji Matcha Producer - Harimaen

We have been doing organic tea cultivation for more than 20 years.

Before that, we took two full days to spray all the tea fields with pesticides. And so we were producing the general agriculture tea that sprayed with pesticide seven to eight times.

One Year in Showa 47Th Year, Summer -. I collapsed in the tea plantation when spraying the pesticide. The doctor said that if I keep spraying the pesticide in hot weather with light clothes like this, eventually I could damage my liver, or I can not ever drink any liquor.

That said, the pesticide will give a heavy burden on anyone who consumes any food with it.

Therefore, we decide to make organic tea cultivation that is pesticide-free and non-chemical fertilizer cultivation.

harimaen_message_uji_kyoto

At first, we had a difficult time with organic cultivation. The harvested tea is decreasing, and other people told us that it is difficult to grow tea plants without pesticides.

But we keep doing the trials and errors for the sake of ourselves, our family, and people who continue to consume our product.

With this motive, our tree becomes more robust, and the harvest is gradually stabilized.

Important Points on How to Store Tea


● Store in a cool and dry place before and after opening. Avoid direct sunlight, heat, and moisture.

● Freshness is important in tea. Please consume after opening as soon as possible.

● Any kinds of tea are susceptible and could change in quality due to temperature, humidity, and light. Please ensure to use an airtight container to store the tea after opening and store it in a cool, dark place.

● Tea leaves have the property of absorbing odors, so be careful of scents when storing them in the refrigerator. We recommend storing in the freezer for long-term storage, but be cautious of water droplets when taken out. However, it is best to drink as soon as possible so you can enjoy the freshness of the tea.
