This traditional Japanese tea offers a wide array of health benefits, making it a valuable addition to any diet. Here are the key benefits of incorporating Clearspring Organic Japanese Matcha Green Tea Powder into your daily routine:

Rich in Antioxidants

High in Catechins: Matcha is exceptionally rich in catechins, particularly EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), a powerful antioxidant known for its cancer-fighting properties.
Neutralizes Free Radicals: The antioxidants in matcha help neutralize harmful free radicals, reducing oxidative stress and the risk of chronic diseases.

Enhances Mental Clarity and Focus

L-Theanine Content: Matcha contains high levels of L-theanine, an amino acid that promotes relaxation and enhances mental clarity. L-theanine helps increase alpha wave activity in the brain, leading to a state of relaxed alertness.
Sustained Energy: The unique combination of caffeine and L-theanine in matcha provides a calm, sustained energy boost without the jitteriness or crash associated with coffee.

Boosts Metabolism and Burns Fat

Thermogenic Properties: Matcha has been shown to increase the body’s thermogenesis (rate at which calories are burned) from 8-10% to 35-43% of daily energy expenditure, aiding in weight loss and fat burning.
Supports Weight Management: The catechins in matcha help enhance fat oxidation and improve metabolic rate, supporting healthy weight management.

Detoxifies the Body

Chlorophyll Content: Matcha is rich in chlorophyll, which gives it its vibrant green color. Chlorophyll is a powerful detoxifier that helps eliminate heavy metals and toxins from the body, supporting liver health and overall detoxification.
Natural Cleanser: Regular consumption of matcha aids in cleansing the body from within, promoting better digestion and overall health.

Enhances Immune Function

Boosts Immunity: The high levels of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals in matcha strengthen the immune system, helping the body fend off infections and illnesses.
Anti-inflammatory Properties: Matcha has anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce inflammation in the body, supporting immune health and reducing the risk of chronic diseases.

Supports Heart Health

Lowers LDL Cholesterol: The catechins in matcha help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels, reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Improves Blood Circulation: Regular consumption of matcha improves blood circulation, contributing to better cardiovascular health and reduced risk of hypertension.

Promotes Calm and Relaxation

Stress Reduction: The L-theanine in matcha promotes relaxation and reduces stress without causing drowsiness. It helps modulate the body's response to stress, enhancing overall well-being.
Improves Sleep Quality: By promoting relaxation and reducing stress, matcha can indirectly improve sleep quality, helping you wake up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

Enhances Skin Health

Anti-Aging Properties: The antioxidants in matcha help fight free radicals that cause skin aging, promoting a youthful and healthy complexion.
Reduces Acne: Matcha’s anti-inflammatory properties help reduce acne and soothe irritated skin, supporting clearer and healthier skin.

How to make a cup of Matcha tea:

Traditionally Matcha is drunk whisked in hot water as a smooth green tea. Take ¼ teaspoon (1g) of Matcha powder and add hot water from a kettle which has not quite boiled to maximise the health benefits. Thoroughly whisk using a traditional wooden whisk or a hand held electric milk frother to avoid lumps of powder in the bottom of your cup.

Traditional Tea Ceremony:

The traditional Japanese tea ceremony dates back 900 years to feudal times. It can take up to 3 hours and is steeped in history, is full of theatre and is incredibly calming. If you would like to make Matcha emulating the essence and spirit of the traditional tea ceremony you can do so in less than 3 minutes but you will need a bowl, a bamboo tea scoop and a bamboo matcha whisk.

1. Preheat the bowl thoroughly with hot water, then empty it and dry carefully with a cloth. Use the bamboo tea scoop to measure 1½ heaped scoops of Matcha powder and place them in the bowl.

2. Pour approximately 50-60ml of hot water into the bowl. Make sure the temperature of the water is approximately 70-80°C, not boiling.

3. Take the bamboo whisk in one hand and hold the rim of the Matcha bowl with the other. Whisk the Matcha briskly in a ‘W’ motion using your wrist (not your arm).
When a thick froth with many tiny bubbles has developed on the surface, slowly lift the bamboo whisk from the centre of the bowl.

4. Add more water according to your taste and savour the deliciously smooth flavour of Matcha
