<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>Matcha green tea</strong> is no new to most Asian countries, it had been widely consumed in ancient China, as a matter of fact, the process of granulating tea leaves into a fine powder and then whisking it in water started in China.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Japan, however, is well known to make the <strong>best Matcha</strong>.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><em>Making matcha</em> is somewhat a meticulous process. Matcha comes from Camellia Sinensis plant its leaves are shaded from the sun for 3 weeks before harvest, the finest tea bushes are carefully chosen and then these finest leaves are manually grounded by hand to be able to produce the best and the brightest green powder.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">Among the many health benefits of Matcha green tea are:</span></strong></p>
<strong><span class="s1">1. Boosts Energy</span></strong>
<p class="p3" style="padding-left: 30px;"><span class="s1"><em>Matcha</em> is considered to be a <strong>healthy caffeine</strong>. It can give you the stimulating effect of coffee and it increases endurance without the unwanted side effects. This is due to the combined effect of <strong>Theophylline</strong> and <strong>L-Theanine</strong>, both present in Matcha.</span></p>
<p class="p3" style="padding-left: 30px;"><span class="s1"><em>Theophylline</em> is an organic compound closely related to caffeine which is responsible for Matcha’s <strong>physiologic effect</strong> in the body.</span></p>
<p class="p3" style="padding-left: 30px;"><span class="s1">While <em>L-Theanine</em> is an amino acid which is believed to <strong>improve awareness</strong> and <strong>brain functions</strong>. </span><span class="s1">An <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18296328" target="_blank" rel="noopener">evidenced based study</a> on human EEG (electroencephalograph) showed a direct effect of L-Theanine in the brain, it relaxes the mind without inducing drowsiness.</span></p>
<p class="p3"><strong><span class="s1">2. Packed with antioxidants.</span></strong></p>
<p class="p3" style="padding-left: 30px;"><span class="s1"><i>Match green tea i</i>s loaded with <strong>EGCG</strong> (epigallocatechin gallate) an <strong>antioxidant</strong> recognized for its <strong>healing properties</strong>. Matcha green tea has the highest EGCG content among the other teas. <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17906191" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Research </a></span><span class="s1">revealed that EGCG is a useful food component for the maintenance of cardiovascular and metabolic health.</span></p>
<p class="p3"><strong><span class="s1"><i>3. Boosts the Immune system.</i></span></strong></p>
<p class="p3" style="padding-left: 30px;"><span class="s1">Because <em>matcha green tea</em> is <strong>rich</strong> with the awesomeness of <strong><em>antioxidants</em></strong> and <strong><em>good organic compounds</em></strong> it shields the body, building better defenses against adverse antigens, preventing the body from being ill.</span></p>
<em><strong>4. <span class="s1">Lowers Bad Cholesterol level</span></strong></em>
<p class="p3" style="padding-left: 30px;"><span class="s1">People who drink matcha green tea regularly are <strong>less likely to develop heart diseases</strong>. Studies revealed that people who regularly drink matcha green tea have <strong>lower levels of LDL </strong>(low-density lipoprotein) the bad cholesterol while exhibiting <strong>higher levels of HDL</strong> (high-density lipoprotein) the good cholesterol.</span></p>
<p class="p3"><strong><span class="s1"><i>5. Boost metabolism</i></span></strong></p>
<p class="p3" style="padding-left: 30px;"><span class="s1"><em>EGCG</em> is not only great for detoxifying the body, it is also <strong>very effective in burning fats!</strong> EGCG aids in <em>faster metabolism</em> which ultimately results in a <strong><em>faster weight loss</em></strong>. So it is a good idea to incorporate matcha green tea in your weight loss plan!</span></p>
<p class="p3"><strong><span class="s1">6. Relaxation and calmness</span></strong></p>
<p class="p3" style="padding-left: 30px;"><span class="s1">Matcha green tea is widely used by <em>Japanese Zen Buddhist</em> and <em>Chinese Daoists monks</em> as an aid to both <strong>meditation</strong> and <strong>relaxation</strong> whilst staying attentive.</span></p>
<p class="p1" style="padding-left: 30px;"><span class="s1">Therefore, Matcha green tea is a <strong>great compliment</strong> to your meditative practice. A nice cup of matcha green tea after your Yoga session would be a sure treat!</span></p>
