About matcha tea


What is Matcha Tea?
 Matcha is a kind of green tea, which has originated more than 800 years ago.Initially, it was used predominantly by Buddhist monks and Samurai, it was not consumed in Europe until recently.Matcha Tea is 100 % pure green tea.No colourings, additives or preservatives.The emerald green colour is caused by the amount of chlorophyll in the tea-leaves, which is the result of shading the tea plants.


 
What’s the difference between Matcha and green tea powder?
 Four weeks prior to the annual harvest, tea fields are completely covered with tarpaulins.This special shading technique blocks up to 90% of sunlight. Plants grow almost in the dark and they compensate for the missing light by excessive production of chlorophyll. It is, in fact, chlorophyll enriched with amino acids that the emerald green colour arises from. After drying, the veins and leafstalks are removed from the tea-leaves and tea pulp is ground into a fine powder.
 
Why drink Matcha tea?
 Matcha is highly nutritious and has an impressive ORAC score, over 1380 units. The ORAC score indicates the amount of antioxidants in tea, which is higher than in blueberries and Acai berries. The recommended daily value of antioxidants should be around 3000-5000 ORAC units. This is equivalent of two Matcha Tea bags, i.e. 4 g per day. A higher intake of antioxidants may result in so called detoxification, but matcha is also often sought for these purposes. Remember that Matcha is not only one qualitative sort of green tea.

Matcha has a beautiful emerald colour. Are there some colours added?
 Matcha is 100% pure green tea. No colours, additives, preservatives are added. The emerald green color is associated with the amount of chlorophyll in the tea leaves, which is caused by shading the tea plants. Four weeks before the annual harvest time, the plants are completely covered with not transparent nets. This special shadow technology holds up to 90% of the sunlight. The plants actually grow in the dark and compensate for the lack of light by producing an excessive amount of chlorophyll. Precisely the chlorophyll, enriched with amino acids, provides the emerald green color.
 
 How it is possible that I do not like the taste of Matcha?
 We live in the world where most of our food contains a lot of sugar and artificial sweeteners. Therefore we are not used to the taste of green tea. Most people often find out that they start to like matcha after a few first cups (You did not like your firts cup of coffe, did you?). It is a different taste and you need to get use to it, then you will love it. If you still do not like the tea after some attempts, it is good idea to sweeten it with a natural sweetener like honey. Very popular is also Matcha tea with natural elder blossom syrup or Matcha Latte (with milk).
 
What's the difference between Matcha tea and coffee?
 The main difference between Matcha and coffee lies in the nutrients that naturally occur in both drinks. Coffee contains a strong stimulant. Matcha contains theophylline and theanine and, in addition, many minerals, vitamins, amino acids and antioxidants. The essential difference is in releasing the energy. With coffee, it is released almost immediately, and it reaches its peak after 45 minutes. Matcha releases energy gradually and you should be "charged" for +-6 hours.
Theophylline in Matcha is a stimulant that can only be found in tea and works very differently than caffeine. Caffeine is a very fast acting stimulant, which is immediately found in the bloodstream. The effects are felt within minutes and culminate for 30 to 45 minutes. The peak is often associated with nervousness, sweating and then a weakening or numbness. Theophylline works very differently. Matcha contains large quantities of nutrients, which gradually absorbs theophylline into the blood. This leads to a slow release of energy over a period of 3 to 6 hours.
The amino acids and theanine in Matcha tea also help keep the mind relaxed, which at the same time is beneficial for the body. Matcha tea is pH neutral, while coffee is acidic and often leads to digestive problems and loss of appetite.

Can children drink Matcha tea?
 According to a study by the Canadian Nutrition Inspectorate, which was prepared for children under the age of 12, children may also drink tea, but in limited amounts.
4-6 years: 45 mg = 1.5 g of Matcha tea per day
7-9 years: 63 mg = 2.1 g Matcha tea per day
10-12 years: 85 mg = 3.2 g Matcha tea per day
Does Matcha tea help with weight loos?
 According to the recent publication of the American Society of Clinical Nutrition (an organization active in the field of healthy nutrition), the consumption of high-quality green tea increases distribution of energy in the body, accelerating metabolism by 30 to 40 %. That means that drinking Matcha tea is very helpfull to weight loss. This is very interesting because the increased burning of calories that occurs by drinking high-quality green tea does not adversely affect blood pressure, which can happen with pills for weight loss.
